Cleaning the hood
• Clean the outside of the hood using a damp
cloth and a mild detergent.
• Never use corrosive, abrasive or flammable
cleaning products.
• Never insert pointed objects in the motor’s
protective grid.
• Wash the outside surfaces using a delicate
detergent solution. Never use caustic detergents
or abrasive brushes or powders.
• Only ever clean the switch panel and filter grille
using a damp cloth and delicate detergents.
• It is extremely important to clean the unit and
change the filters at the recommended intervals.
Failure to do so will cause grease deposits to
build up that could constitute a fire hazard.
Metal grease filter
• The purpose of the grease filters is to absorb
grease particles which form during cooking and
it
must always be used, either in the external
extraction or internal recycling function.
Attention: the metal grease filters must be
removed and washed, either by hand or in the
dishwasher, every four weeks.
Removing the metal grease filter
• Pull the handles downards, then extract the
filter.
. Fig. 5 .
Hand washing
Soak grease filters for about one hour in hot
water with a grease-loosening cleaner, then
rinse off thoroughly with hot water. Repeat the
process if necessary. Refit the grease filters
when they are dry.
Dishwasher
Place grease filters in the dishwasher. Select
most powerful washing programme and highest
temperature, at least 65°C. Repeat the process.
Refit the grease filters when they are dry.
When washing the metal grease filter in the
dishwasher a slight discolouration of the filter
can occur, this does not have any impact on its
performance.
• Clean the inner housing using a hot detergent
solution only (never use caustic detergents,
abrasive powders or brushes).
• The hood must always be disconnected from the electricity supply before beginning any
maintenance work.
