Operation
Use the high suction speed in cases of concentrated kitchen
vapours. It is recommended that the rangehood 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 rangehood is
disconnected from the power supply.
Cleaning
The rangehood should be cleaned regularly internally and externally.
For cleaning use a cloth moistened with denatured alcohol or neutral
liquid detergents. Avoid abrasive detergents.
Warning:
Failure to carry out the basic standards of the cleaning of the range-
hood and replacement of the filters may cause fire risks.
Therefore we recommend observing these instructions.
Grease filter
This must be cleaned once a month using non aggressive
detergents, either by hand or in the dishwasher, which must be
set to a low temperature and a short cycle.
When washed in a dishwasher, the grease filter may discolour
slightly, but this does not affect its filtering capacity.
To remove the grease filter, pull the spring release handle (f) - (Fig.
2).
Charcoal filter (filter version only)
It absorbs unpleasant odours caused by cooking.
The charcoal filter can be washed once every two months (when
using the hood 2.5 hours per day, in average) using hot water and a
suitable detergent, or in a dishwasher at 65°C. If the dishwasher
is used, select the full cycle function and leave all 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 or when the cloth is damaged.
Remove the filter holder frame by turning the knobs (g) 90° that affix
the chimney to the rangehood (Fig. 3).
Insert the pad (i) of activated carbon into the frame (h) and fit the
whole back into its housing (j).
Replacing lamps - Fig. 4
Warning!
Prior to touching the light bulbs ensure they are cooled down.
1. Extract the guard by levering it off with a small screwdriver or
similar tool. (fig. 4).
2. Replace the damaged light bulb.
Only use halogen bulbs of 20W max (G4), making sure you do
not touch them with your hands.
3. Close the lamp cover (it will snap shut).
If the lights do not work, make sure that the lamps are fitted
properly into their housings before you call for technical
assistance.
Caution
This appliance is designed to be operated by adults. Children should
not be allowed to tamper with the controls or play with the appliance.
Do not use the rangehood where the grill is not correctly fixed! The
suctioned air must not be conveyed in the same channel used for
fumes discharged by appliances powered by other than electricity.
The environment must always be adequately aerated when the
rangehood and other appliances powered by other than electricity
are used at the same time. Flambé cooking with a rangehood is
prohibited. The use of a free flame is damaging to the filters and may
cause fire accidents, therefore free flame cooking must be avoided.
Frying of foods must be kept under close control in order to avoid
overheated oil catching fire. Carry out fumes discharging in
accordance with the regulations in force by local laws for safety and
technical restrictions.
