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 s 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 mat
dry 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 least
every 3 years or when the mat is damaged.
• Before remounting the anti-grease filters and the rege-
nerable 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.
• if the appliance is equipped with courtesy lights it is possible
to use them for general room lighting for a prolonged amount
of time.
• Attention: 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.
• Replacing halogen light bulbs (Fig.15 .1):
To replace the halogen light bulbs B, remove the glass pane
C using a lever action on the relevant cracks.
Replace the bulbs with new ones of the same type.
Caution: do not touch the light bulb with bare hands.
• Replacing LED lamps (Fig.15 .2):
if the appliance version is with LED lamps, the intervention of
a specialised technician is necessary to replace them.
• Commands Luminous (Fig.16) the key symbols are ex-
plained below:
A = LiGHT
B = OFF
C = SPEED i
D = SPEED ii
E = SPEED iii
F = AUTOMATiC STOP TiMER - 15 minutes (*)
if your appliance is equipped with the INTENSIVE speed
function, start from level THREE speed and keeping the but-
ton E pressed for about 2 seconds, this function activates for
about 10 minutes after which it goes back to the previously
set speed.
When the function is active the LED flashes. To interrupt it
before the 10 minutes have expired press key E again.
By pressing key F for two seconds (with the hood switched
off) the “clean air” function is activated. This function switches
the appliance on for ten minutes every hour at the first speed.
As soon as this function is activated the motor starts up at the
first speed for ten minutes, During this time key F and key
C must flash at the same time. After ten minutes the motor
switches off and the LED of key F remains switched on with
a fixed light until the motor starts up again at the first speed
after fifty minutes and keys F and C start to flash again for ten
minutes and so on. By pressing any key for the exclusion of
the hood light the hood will return immediately to its normal
functioning (e.g. if key D is pressed the “clean air” function is
deactivated and the motor moves to the 2nd speed straight
away. By pressing key B the function is deactivated).
(*)
The “AUTOMATIC STOP TIMER” delays stopping of the
hood, which will continue functioning for 15 minutes at the
operating speed set at the time this function is activated.
• Anti-grease/active charcoal filters saturation:
- When the A key flashes with a 2 second frequency the anti-
grease filters must be washed.
- When the A key flashes with a 0.5 second frequency the
active carbon filters must be replaced or washed depending
on the type of filter.
Once the clean filter has been put back one must reset the
electronic memory by pressing the A key for approximately
5 seconds until it stops flashing.
• Commands (Fig.17):
Push-button A =
On/off lights switch.
Push-button B =
Switches the motor on/off. The appliance
switches on at speed level 1, if the cooker hood is on depress
the push-button for 2 sec. to switch off the cooker hood.
if the cooker hood is at speed level 1 it will not be necessary
to depress the push-button to switch the cooker hood off.
Decreases the motor speed.
Display C = indicates the motor speed level selected and
activates the timer.
Push-button D =
Switches the motor on. increases the motor
speed. Touching the key at 3rd speed, the intensive function
runs for 10’, then the appliance go back to work at the original
speed. During this function the display blinks.
Key E = The Timer times the functions on activation for 15
minutes, after which they are switched off. The Timer is deac-
tivated by re-pressing Key E. When the Timer is activated the
decimal point must flash on the display. The Timer cannot be
activated if the intensive speed is functioning.
The “clean air” function is activated by pressing key E for 2
seconds when the appliance is switched off. This switches the
motor on for 10 minutes every hour at the first speed. During
functioning a rotary movement of the peripheral segments
must be visualised on the display. When this time has passed
the motor switches off and the fixed letter “C” must be visual-
ised on the display until the motor re-starts after 50 minutes
for another 10 minutes and so on. Press any key apart from
