INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
• FILTERING VERSION
NOTE:
The filters must be ordered from your dealer as an accessory.
To transform the hood from the SUCTION version to the FILTERING version, charcoal filters must be ordered from your
dealer as an accessory.
There are two different types of kits available, one with non-regenerable active carbon filters (
Fig.5B ) and the other
with regenerable active carbon filters (
Fig.5C
).
USE AND MAINTENANCE
We recommend that the cooker hood is switched on before any food is cooked. We also recommend that the
appliance is left running for 15 minutes after the food is cooked, in order to thoroughly eliminate all contaminated air.
The effective performance of the cooker hood depends on constant maintenance; the anti-grease filter and the active
carbon filter both require special attention.
The anti-grease filter
is responsible retaining the grease particles suspended in the air, therefore it is subject to
clogging with variable frequency according to the use of the appliance.
To prevent the danger of possible fires, at least every 2 months one must wash the anti-grease filters by hand using
non-abrasive neutral liquid detergents or in the dishwasher at low temperatures and on short cycles.
After a few washes, colour alterations may occur. This does not give the right to claim their replacement.
The active carbon filters are used to purify the air that is sent back into the room and its function is to mitigate the
unpleasant odours produced by cooking.
The non-regenerable active carbon filters must be replaced at least every 4 months. The saturation of the active
charcoal depends on the more or less prolonged use of the appliance, on the type of kitchen and on the frequency
with which anti-grease filter is cleaned.
Regenerable active charcoal filters must be washed by hand, with non abrasive neutral detergents, or in the
dishwasher at a maximum temperature of 65°C (the washing cycle must be complete without dishware). Remove
excess water without damaging the filter, remove the plastic parts, and let the matdry in the oven for at least 15
minutes approximately at a maximum temperature of 100°C. To keep the regenerable charcoal filter functioning
efficient this operation must be repeated every 2 months. These must be replaced at leastevery 3 years or when the
mat is damaged.
Before remounting the anti-grease filters and the regenerable active charcoal filters it is important that
they are completely dry.
Clean the hood frequently, both internally and externally, using a cloth dampened with denatured alcohol or
neutral liquid detergents that are non abrasive.
The lighting .system is designed for use during cooking and not for the prolonged general lighting of the room. The
prolonged use of the lighting system significantly decreases the average duration of the bulbs.
The non compliance with the hood cleaning warnings and with the replacement and cleaning of the
filters entails risk of fires. One therefore recommends keeping to the suggested instructions.
