SMEG reserves the right to make changes and corrections to its products as it deems
necessary, without altering their basic characteristics.
During cleaning and maintenance work,
make sure the safety instructions are
complied with.
• If your kitchen hood is made of stainless
steel, use proprietary cleaners mentioned
in the product instructions.
• If your kitchen hood is painted, use
lukewarm water and a neutral soap.
• Never use metallic scourers, nor abrasive
or corrosive products.
• Dry the kitchen hood using a cloth that
does not produce fibres.
• Do not use vapour cleaners.
To remove the filters from their fittings, press
lightly on the locks and then pull them off.
The metal filters can be cleaned by soaking
them in hot water with neutral detergent until
the fat dissolves and then rinsing them under
the tap or using special anti-grease products.
They can also be washed in a dishwasher. In
this case, it is advisable to stack them
vertically to avoid food residues to stick to
them.
Cleaning in a dishwasher may damage the
metallic surface (blackening it), although this
will not affect its fat retention capacity.
Once clean, leave them to dry off and then fit
them onto the kitchen hood.
Proceed as follows:
• Remove the metal filters.
• Change the broken/burnt out lamp.
• Fit the metal filters.

Problem solving
Proceed with the following checks before calling the Technical Service:
Changing light bulbs
Active charcoal filters (Optional)
When exterior gas extraction is not possible, then the kitchen hood may be set to purify the air
by recycling it through active charcoal filters.
The active charcoal filters have an active life of between three to six months, depending on the
individual conditions of use. These filters cannot be washed nor regenerated. They must be
replaced once their useful life comes to an end.
