6.2 Replacing the grease filter
The grease filters must be replaced periodically.
Metal grease filters
Metal grease filters
do not require replacement when they are excessively saturated and are instead
washed once a month by hand or in a dishwasher (60 °) (do not use corrosive rinse aids). Allow the filter
to dry completely and refit it in the hood carefully.
WARNING:
Do not use alkaline detergents for dishwashers (pH values above 7).
Charcoal filters
A - Conventional filters
Cannot be washed or regenerated. Charcoal filters must be replaced regularly, at least once every 3
months or sooner, depending on your cooking habits
B - Washable and regenerable charcoal filters
Must be washed in a dishwasher once a month, using a normal rinse aid and with an intensive rinse
program (at the highest available temperature). Washable and regenerable charcoal filters absorb
kitchen odours for a maximum of 3 years if cleaned monthly. After this period, the filter must be replaced
with a new item.
WARNING:
Washable and regenerable activated carbon filters must be washed
separately to avoid the accumulation of food residues which can cause unpleasant
odours. After washing, the washable and regenerable charcoal filter must be reactivated.
This operation is performed by drying the clean filter in an oven for 10 minutes at 100 °C.
The washable / regenerable nature of your charcoal filter is stated on the pack. If no information is given
on the pack, this means it contains a conventional non-washable charcoal filter.
Generic components
Whenever a grease filter or a charcoal filter is replaced or washed, clean all the exposed lower parts
of the hood with a mild anti-grease solvent after removing the filter. For routine cleaning of the exterior
parts of the hood use a soft cloth moistened with alcohol or a mild liquid detergent. Never use abrasive
detergents.
WARNING:
There is a risk of fire if the hood cleaning instructions and filter replacement
or cleaning instructions are disregarded.
6.3 Replacing the light bulbs
WARNING
: When changing a light bulb, make sure the new bulb is not of higher power
than the original.
