Tips on saving energy
Here are some suggestions to help you reduce the environmental impact of your appliance:
Switch on the hood at minimum speed when you start cooking and keep it running for a few minutes
after cooking is finished. Increase the speed only in case of a large amount of smoke and vapour and use
higher speed only in extreme situations.
Replace the charcoal filter when necessary to maintain a good odour reduction efficiency. Replace the
grease filter when necessary to maintain a good grease filter efficiency.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Beware!
Before performing any cleaning or maintenance operation, isolate the hood from the electrical
supply by switching off at the connector and removing the connector fuse. Or if the appliance has been
connected through a plug and socket, then the plug must be removed from the socket.
The cooker hood should be cleaned regularly internally and externally (about once a month). Clean using
the cloth dampened with neutral liquid detergent. Do not use abrasive products. DO NOT USE
ALCOHOL!
WARNING: Failure to carry out the basic cleaning recommendations of the cooker hood and
replacement of the filters may cause fire risks.
Cleaning the external surface
•
To protect the external surface of the hood from corrosion over a long period of time, it should be
cleaned with hot water plus non corrosive detergent every two months.
•
Keep the motor and other parts free from water, as this will cause damage to the appliance.
•
The charcoal filter shall not be exposed to heat.
Replacing the grease and charcoal filters
The grease filter and the charcoal filter supplied on this hood cannot be washed or regenerated; they
need to be replaced regularly (depending on the frequency of use, between once a month and 2
‐
3 times
a year).
Replacing lamps
Disconnect the appliance from the mains. To access the lamp housing, you need to remove the cover
first.
Warning!
Prior to touching the light bulbs, ensure they are cooled down.
Replace the old light bulb with the one of the same type: use Ø35mm E14 28W halogen candle lamps
only.
If the lights do not work, make sure that the lamps are fitted properly into their housings before you call
for technical assistance.
