Cleaning
Before performing any maintenance operation
disconnect the hood from the mains.
To ensure that your hood works efficiently and
constantly it is recommended that it should be
regularly cleaned (every ten days on average).
Cleaning of the unit’s exterior
Wipe down regularly especially when cooking with
salted water (vegetables, shellfish, etc.)
To clean the outside of the hood, use cloth dampened
either with denaturated alcohol or an adequate
product found on the market.
Never use products containing abrasives.
Cleaning the grease filters
The grease filter captures the greases from the
cooking fumes.
The filter is in layers of stretched aluminium Its life is
nearly unlimited.
At more or less frequent intervals, according to the use
of the hood, in any case at last once every 30 days of
normal use, wash the filter in a dishwasher or in a
soapy water.
When washed in a dish washer, the grease filter may
discolour slightly, but this does not affect its filtering
capacity.
Remove the metal grease filters using the handles
designed for this purpose by pulling the handle
downwards (Diagram 6).
Let the metal grease filters dry without damaging it
before putting it back into place.
Cleaning and replacing the carbon filter:
The carbon filter may be washed in hot water and
suitable detergent or in dishwasher at 65°C once
every two months (for cleaning in dishwasher ensure
to run full wash cycle with filters only and no crockery).
Remove excess water without damaging filter, then
remove the sponge from inside the plastic grill and
place in oven for 10 minutes at 100°C for drying.
Replace sponge every 3 years or when damaged.
To fit or replace see page 20.
