Maintenance
Disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply
before performing any type of maintenance work on
it.
To ensure the hood operates efficiently and
consistently, we recommend that maintenance is
performed regularly (every ten days on average).
Cleaning the outside of the appliance
Clean the external surfaces of the appliance
regularly.
To clean the hood thoroughly, use a cloth which has
been dampened with alcohol or any of the special
cleaning products currently available in shops.
Do not use products which contain abrasive
substances.
Cleaning the grease filter
The grease filter is used to trap suspended particles
of grease which are produced during the cooking
process.
It should be cleaned once a month using non-aggres-
sive detergent, either manually or in the dishwasher,
at a low temperature using a short cycle.
If cleaned in the dishwasher the filter may become
opaque over time, but its filtering capacity will not be
diminished in any way.
Remove it using the handle attached, pushing it
backwards then pulling it downwards (Fig. 1).
After washing it, dry it carefully and replace it,
following the above instructions in reverse order.
For the HSE 159 IX model only, the grease filter may
be replaced by the active carbon filter kit inside the
packaging.
Replacing the carbon filter
The carbon filter is used to remove grease and odours
from the air before it is released back into the room
through the upper grille.
The carbon filter may be washed every two months,
using hot water and suitable detergent or a dishwasher
cycle at 65°C (if cleaned in the dishwasher, run an entire
cycle when no crockery is inside).Remove excess water
without damaging the filter, then remove the matting
inside the plastic frame and place the filter in the oven
at 100°C for 10 minutes to dry it thoroughly.
Replace the active carbon filter every three years or if
it is damaged
To fit or replace the carbon filter:
Remove the grease filter(s).
Fit the frame holding the carbon filter in place and fix it
to the motor assembly using 4 screws.
Position the carbon filter matting over the frame and fix
it in place using the bracket provided.
Fit the grease filter(s).
Replacing the carbon filter (HPI 95)
For your hood to operate at its best, the activated carbon
filters must be replaced on a regular basis, at least
once every three months. To buy these, contact an
Authorised Service Centre or the Retailer where you
purchased it. Before you begin to insert the carbon
filter, put the omnipolar switch on the O position (OFF).
Pull the lever on the metal filter until it is released from
its housing then remove it by pulling it downwards (Fig.
3). Remove the soiled activated carbon filters “O“ by
turning them clockwise and then removing them from
the guide pegs on the outdoor venting assembly.
Fit the new filters on, making sure the holes located on
the same fit well around the special reference pegs of
the outdoor venting assembly (Fig. 4) and turn them
anti-clockwise until you hear them click (opposite action
