Maintenance and Care
•
The hood must always be disconnected from the electricity
supply before beginning any maintenance work.
Cleaning the hood
• Clean the outside of the hood using a damp cloth and a mild deter-
gent.
• Never use corrosive, abrasive or flammable cleaning products.
• Never insert pointed objects in the motor’s protective grid.
• Wash the outside surfaces using a delicate detergent solution.
Never use caustic detergents or abrasive brushes or powders.
• Only ever clean the control panel and filter grille using a damp cloth
and delicate detergents.
• It is very important to clean the hood and to perform maintenance
and care of filters at the recommended intervals. Failure to do so
could cause grease deposits to build up, resulting in a fire hazard.
• Clean the inner housing using a hot detergent solution only (never
use caustic detergents, abrasive powders or brushes).
Metal grease filter
• The purpose of the grease filters is to absorb grease particles which
form during cooking and it
must
always be used, either in the
external extraction or internal re-circulation function.
Attention: the metal grease filters must be removed and washed,
either by hand or in the dishwasher, every four weeks.
Removing the metal grease filter
• First, push the metal grease filter stop
backwards, then extract the filter, pulling
downwards.

Hand washing
Soak grease filters for about one hour in
hot water with a grease-loosening cleaner,
then rinse off thoroughly with hot water.
Repeat the process if necessary. Refit the
grease filters when they are dry.
Dishwasher
Place grease filters in the dishwasher. Select most powerful washing
programme and highest temperature, at least 65°C. Repeat the
process. Refit the grease filters when they are dry.
When washing the metal grease filter in the dishwasher a slight
discolouration of the filter can occur, this does not have any impact
on its performance.
• Clean the inner housing using a hand hot solution only(never use
caustic detergents, abrasive powders or brushes).
