MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT: Before cleaning or attempting any type of maintenance, always make sure that the
electric supply is disconnected.
To avoid the possibility of fire, adhere strictly to all of the recommendations included in this booklet,
paying particular attention to the grease filters to ensure grease deposits do not build up.
NOTE: The manufacturer declines all liability in cases where the instructions for the appropriate
installation, maintenance and use of the extractor hood are not observed.
If the power supply is cut or damaged in any way, disconnect the extractor from the electricity supply and
call the service number on the rear cover of this booklet.
GENERAL CLEANING
Wipe the external surfaces of the appliance regularly using warm water and a mild detergent. NEVER use
abrasive cleaners.
WARNING: Never have a naked flame in direct contact with the grease filters or within the
extractor hood.
THE GREASE FILTERS
The grease filter is of a metallic material and should be washed using
a neutral detergent or in a dishwasher.
Removal of grease filter:
1. Press latch
2. Lower filter to remove
THE CARBON FILTERS
Carbon filters have a limited life. We advise you to change them when there is a noticeable drop in
performance. The intervals between changing the filters will depend entirely upon the amount of cooking
you do, but on average they will last about 6 months.
To gain access to the carbon filters first of all, remove the
grease filters as above. Remove the old filters and reposition
new (LAM2900 - pack of 2).
REPLACING THE LIGHT BULBS
•
Ensure that the power is switched off and the bulb is cold.
•
Remove the grease filters to gain access to the bulbs.
•
Unscrew to remove the lamp and replace it with a new lamp of the same type and wattage.
Remove grease filters to make it easier.
IMPORTANT WARNING: The replacement lamps must have aluminium reflector, never use dichroic
lamps, to avoid unnecessary overheating on the lamp holders.
NOTE: LAMP REPLACEMENT IS NOT COVERED BY YOUR GUARANTEE
