WARNING

GREASE FILTERS

The metal grease filter has an unlimited life and should be cleaned once a month by hand or in a
dishwasher at low temperature and with a short cycle. Cleaning in a dishwasher may cause discolouring
of the grease filter, but its filtering efficiency is unaffected.
Pull out the handle to remove the filter.
Wash the filter and leave it to dry, proceeding in reverse order to refit it.

REPLACING LAMPS

The hood lighting system is based on LED technology.
The LEDs provide optimal illumination, with a lifetime up to ten times longer than traditional lamps but
with 90% less energy consumption.
To replace them, proceed as follows:
1. Remove the grease filters.
2. Access the lamps inside the hood.
3. Press the release springs to unfasten the lamp.
4. Take the lamp out of the hood.
5. Disconnect the electrical terminal.
Fit the replacement lamp by performing the above steps in reverse.
N.B.: To purchase replacement LED lamps, contact the technical support service.

using a normal dishwasher detergent. It is advisable to clean the filter separately.

Change the carbon filter every 3 years.
Fitting the carbon filter:

front with the two knobs.
