Particular attention should be paid to the metal
grease filter panels. The accumulation of grease
inside the filter panels as well as affecting the
performance of the extractor, can also create a
fire hazard.
In order to minimise the risk of fire, the filters must
be cleaned regularly, at least once a month or
with greater frequency in the case of a particularly
intensive use of the appliance.
After identifying your hood model, remove one filter
at a time as shown in the next figure. Thoroughly
wash filters with a mild detergent either by hand
or in the dishwasher. Replace the filters, making
sure that the handle is on the outside of the hood
The carbon filters are capable of retaining odours
until the carbon reaches saturation level
. They
cannot be washed and they are not renewable,
therefore, it is recommended to replace them at
least every six months or more often if the hood is
used often.
Before starting operations make sure the electrical
power supply to the hood is disconnected.
Access the active carbon filters by removing the
metal filters as described above. With the help of
the figures, identify the carbon filters kit supplied
with the hood.
In the case of the disc filter, simply tilt the two filters
by 90° as shown in (fig.A) and then extract them
from their housing.
In the case of a cartridge filter attached with
springs, (fig.B) exert the pressure required to
counteract the resistance of the spring and then
remove the filter
