Use the high suction speed in cases of concentrated kitchen
vapours. It is recommended that the cooker hood suction
is switched on for 5 minutes prior to cooking and to leave
in operation during cooking and for another 15 minutes
approximately after terminating cooking.
Maintenance
Prior to any maintenance operation ensure that the cooker
hood is disconnected from the power supply.
Cleaning
The cooker hood should be cleaned regularly internally and
externally.
For cleaning use a cloth moistened with denatured alcohol
or neutral liquid detergents. Avoid abrasive detergents.
W a r n i n g :
Failure to carry out the basic standards of the cleaning of the
cooker hood and replacement of the filters may cause fire
risks.
Therefore we recommend oserving these instructions.
Steam screen
The steam screen must always be left closed and opened
only for maintenance (e.g. cleaning or changing filters).
Opening the steam screen:
Press the lower part of the steam screen firmly. After
coupling, accompany it upward.
Closing the steam screen:
Accompany the steam screen downwards, press firmly
and check the resulting coupling.
Grease filter
This must be cleaned once a month using non aggressive
detergents, either by hand or in the dish-washer, which must
be set to a low temperature and a short cycle.
When washed in a dish-washer, the grease filter may
discolour slightly, but this does not affect its filtering capacity.
Removing the grease filters - Fig. 2
Open the steam screen.
Pull the handle downwards and extract the filter.
Charcoal filter (filter version only)
It absorbs unpleasant odours caused by cooking.
The charcoal filter can be washed once every two months
using hot water and a suitable detergent, or in a dish-washer
at 65°C (if the dish-washer is used, select the full cycle
function and leave dishes out).
Eliminate excess water without damaging the filter, then
remove the mattress located inside the plastic frame and put
it in the oven for 10 minutes at 100° C to dry completely.
Replace the mattress every 3 years and when the cloth is
damaged.

packing and not on the hood.

Replacing lamps - Fig. 4
Firstly check that the lamps are well cooled prior to replacing
them.
Access the light compartment – extract the guard by levering
it off with a small screwdriver or similar tool.
Replace the damaged light bulb.
Only use halogen bulbs of 20W max (G4), making sure you
do not touch them with your hands.

If the lights do not work, make sure that the lamps are
fitted properly into their housings before you call for
technical assistance.
