Always disconnect the hood from the power supply before carrying
out cleaning and/or maintenance.
Regular cleaning ensures that the appliance provides good
performance and a long service life. Special attention should be paid
to the grease filters and carbon filters.
Note: The accumulation of grease inside the filter panels as well as
affecting the performance of the extractor hood can also be a fire
hazard.
EXTERNAL CLEANING
The hood should be cleaned externally and internally using a damp
cloth and a neutral liquid detergent. Solvents or abrasive substances
should not be used under any circumstances. We recommend using
specific products, following the instructions on the pack. We
recommended that you always clean the steel parts of the hood in
the direction of the surface finish.
CLEANING METAL FILTERS
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 hood
can also be a fire hazard. In order to
minimise the risk of fire, the filters
should be cleaned regularly, at least
once a month or more often in the
case
of intensive use of the
appliance.
Remove one filter at a time as shown in the figure. Wash the filters
thoroughly by hand using a neutral detergent or in a dishwasher.
Reinstall the filters, making sure that the handle is facing towards
the outside of the hood.
