Maintenance
Prior to any maintenance operation ensure that the cooker
hood is disconnected from the power supply.
Cleaning:
The cooker hood should be cleaned regularly
internally and externally.
For cleaning use a cloth moistened with denatured alcohol
or neutral liquid detergents. Avoid abrasive detergents.
Warning:
Failure to carry out the basic standards of the
cleaning of the cooker hood and replacement of the filters
may cause fire risks.
Therefore we recommend observing these instructions.
Grease filter
This must be cleaned once a month (or when the filter
saturation indication system if envisaged on the model in
possession indicates this necessity see previous page)
using non aggressive detergents, either by hand or in the
dishwasher, which must be set to a low temperature and
a short cycle.
When washed in a dishwasher, the grease
filter may discolour slightly, but this does not affect its filtering
capacity.
To remove the grease filter, pull the spring release
handle
(f)
- (Fig. 2).
Charcoal filter (filter version only)
It absorbs unpleasant odours caused by cooking.
The charcoal filter can be washed once every two months
(or when the filter saturation indication system if envisaged
on the model in possession indicates this necessity see
previous page) using hot water and a suitable detergent,
or in a dishwasher at 65°C (if the dishwasher is used, select
the full cycle function and leave dishes out).
Eliminate excess water without damaging the filter, then
remove the mattress located inside the plastic frame and put
it in the oven for 10 minutes at 100° C to dry completely.
Replace the mattress every 3 years and when the cloth is
damaged.
Remove the filter holder frame by turning the knobs (
g
) 90°
that affix the chimney to the cooker hood
(Fig. 3)
.
Insert the pad
(i)
of activated carbon into the frame
(h)
and
fit the whole back into its housing
(j)
.
It is possible to use a traditional carbon filter, neither
washable nor regenerable, to be replaced every 3 - 4
months.
The filter holder frame of the carbon filter is welded together;
the eventual frame supplied with the hood is not, therefore,
to be used.
Insert it into its housing and fix it turning the 2 plastic knobs.

Caution
This appliance is designed to be operated by adults. Children should
not be allowed to tamper with the controls or play with the appliance.
Do not use the cooker hood where the grill is not correctly fixed! The
suctioned air must not be conveyed in the same channel used for
fumes discharged by appliances powered by other than electricity.
The environment must always be adequately aerated when the
cooker hood and other appliances powered by other than electricity
are used at the same time. Flambé cooking with a cooker hood is
prohibited. The use of a free flame is damaging to the filters and may
cause fire accidents, therefore free flame cooking must be avoided.
Frying of foods must be kept under close control in order to avoid
overheated oil catching fire. Carry out fumes discharging in
accordance with the regulations in force by local laws for safety and
technical restrictions.
