Disconnect the hood from the power supply before starting any maintenance work by disconnecting the
plug or removing the fuse.
Clean the filter often. Deposits of fat on the filter and on the walls of the evacuation conduit are a fire
danger if, for example, a cooker is left on (or in the case of other kinds of overheating).
Maintenance and care
Cleaning the hood
Clean the outside of the hood using a damp cloth
and a neutral detergent.
Never use products containing corrosive and
abrasive agents or inflammable substances.
Cleaning the grease filter
Clean the filter every month or every two months,
depending on how often the hood is used.
The more the filter is cleaned, the greater will be
the amount of fat it can capture.
To remove the filter- Fig. 3:
•
Press the metal clips on the anti-fat filter
backwards and remove the filter downwards.
The filter consists of an aluminium grid upon which
the fat is collected.
Clean the filter with detergent, immersing it in hot
water or putting it in the dishwasher. Wait until the
filter is dry before mounting it again.
Attention! Putting it into the dishwasher can make
the filter fade.
Cleaning/replacing the charcoal
filter
The active carbon filter must only be used if the
hood is to be used in the recirculation mode. The
active carbon filters absorb fumes and smells.
Unlike other charcoal filters, the LONGLIFE
charcoal filter can be cleaned and reactivated. With
normal use the filter should be cleaned every
second month (when using the hood 2,5 hours per
day,on avarage). The best way to clean the filter is
in the dishwasher. Use normal detergent and
choose the highest temperature (65º C). Wash the
filter separately so that no food parts gets stuck on
the filter and later causes bad odours. To reactivate
the charcoal, the filter should be dried in an oven
for 10 minutes with a maximum temperature of
100º C.
After approximately three years of use, the
charcoal filter should be replaced with a new, as
the odour reduction capacity will be reduced.
