General tips
• Operate the hood at minimum speed at the
start of cooking and keep it running for a
few minutes after cooking is finished.
• Only increase the speed in the presence of
large quantities of smoke and steam and
only use the booster speed(s) in extreme
situations.
• Replace the filter or carbon filters when ne-
cessary to maintain good odour reduction
efficiency.
• Clean the grease filter or filters when ne-
cessary to maintain good grease absorp-
tion efficiency.
• Use the maximum diameter of the ducting
indicated in this manual to optimise effi-
ciency and to minimise noise.
Cleaning and maintenance
Switch off or unplug the appliance from
the mains supply before carrying out
any maintenance work.
IMPORTANT : Clean the hood using a damp
cloth and a neutral liquid detergent.
Long-life carbon filter
The odour filter can be washed and
regenerated every 3-4 months (or more
frequently if the hood is subject to intensive
use), up to a maximum of 8 regeneration
cycles (in case of particularly intensive use it is
recommended that you do not exceed 5
cycles).
Regeneration procedure
• Wash in the dishwasher at a MAX temperat-
ure of 70° or hand wash in hot water
without using abrasive sponges (do not use
detergents!).
• Dry in the oven at a MAX temperature of
70° for 2 hours (it is advisable to carefully
read the user manual and the assembly in-
structions of the oven you own).
Grease filters
Continue to clean or replace the filters at the
scheduled intervals to keep the hood in good
working order and avoid the potential risk of
fire due to the excessive build-up of grease.
The grease filters must be cleaned after every
2 months of operation or more frequently in
the case of very intense use and are
dishwasher safe.
Light replacement
Unscrew the light bulbs using safety gloves
and replace them with new light bulbs with
the same characteristics (4W power, E14
connection).
