Maintenance
Prior to any maintenance operation ensure that the cooker hood is
disconnected from the power supply.
Cleaning
The cooker hood should be cleaned regularly internally and externally.
For cleaning use a cloth moistened with denatured alcohol or neutral
liquid detergents. Avoid abrasive detergents.
Warning:
Failure to carry out the basic standards of the cleaning of the cooker
hood and replacement of the filters may cause fire risks.
Therefore we recommend oserving these instructions.
Grease filter
This must be cleaned once a month (and, for the model with
electronic control panel, every time
LED 4
starts to flash see
preceding page) using non aggressive detergents, either by hand or
in the dish-washer, which must be set to a low temperature and a
short cycle.
When washed in a dish-washer, the grease filter may discolour
slightly, but this does not affect its filtering capacity.
To remove the grease filter, pull the spring release handle
(f)
- (Fig.

Only for model with electronic control panel:
Once the grease filters have been cleaned, press button

Charcoal filter (filter version only)
It absorbs unpleasant odours caused by cooking.
The charcoal filter can be washed once every two months (when
using the hood 2,5 hours per day, in avarage and, for the model with
electronic control panel, every time
LED 5
starts to flash see
preceding page) using hot water and a suitable detergent, or in a
dish-washer at 65°C (if the dish-washer is used, select the full cycle
function and leave dishes out).
Eliminate excess water without damaging the filter, then remove the
mattress located inside the plastic frame and put it in the oven for 10
minutes at 100° C to dry completely. Replace the mattress every 3
years and when the cloth is damaged.

Caution
This appliance is designed to be operated by adults. Children should
not be allowed to tamper with the controls or play with the appliance.
Do not use the cooker hood where the grill is not correctly fixed! The
suctioned air must not be conveyed in the same channel used for
fumes discharged by appliances powered by other than electricity.
The environment must always be adequately aerated when the
cooker hood and other appliances powered by other than electricity
are used at the same time. Flambé cooking with a cooker hood is
prohibited. The use of a free flame is damaging to the filters and may
cause fire accidents, therefore free flame cooking must be avoided.
Frying of foods must be kept under close control in order to avoid
overheated oil catching fire. Carry out fumes discharging in
accordance with the regulations in force by local laws for safety and
technical restrictions.
