Cleaning And Maintenance - Smeg HOBD682D2 User Manual

2. USE
• The suction hood has been designed
solely to eliminate cooking fumes dur-
ing domestic use.
• Never use the appliance for purposes
other than those for which it has been
designed.
• Deep fryers must be continuously
monitored during use: overheated oil
could catch fire.
• Do not operate the appliance using
an external timer or separate remote
controlled system.
• The appliance must never be in-
stalled behind a decorative door, to
prevent it from overheating.
• Never stand on the appliance, as this
may damage it.
• Do not rest hot pots and pans on the
frame, as this may damage the silic-
one seals.
• Do not cut or prepare foodstuffs on
the surface and do not drop hard ob-
jects onto it. Do not drag pans or
plates over the surface.
3. CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
• Switch the appliance off or discon-
nect it from the electricity supply be-
fore any maintenance work.
• If the Activated Charcoal odour filter
is supplied and is of type (F) (refer to
the assembly instructions), it can be
regenerated. The Activated Charcoal
odour filter can be washed and re-
generated every 3-4 months (or more
frequently if the hood is subject to in-
tensive use), up to a Max. of 8 regen-
eration cycles (in case of particularly
intensive use it is recommended that
you do not exceed 5 cycles). Contact
the after-sales service to order a new
filter (F).
Regeneration procedure:
• Wash in the dishwasher at a MAX
temperature of 70° or hand wash in
hot water without using abrasive
sponges (do not use detergents!).
• Dry in the oven at a MAX temperature
of 70° for 2 hours (it is advisable to
carefully read the user manual and
the assembly instructions of the oven
you own).
• The grease filters must be cleaned
every 2 months of use, or more fre-
quently in the case of particularly in-
tensive use. They can be washed in a
dishwasher. Do not wash the grids in
a dishwasher (Z).
General recommendations
• Never use abrasive sponges, wire
wool, hydrochloric acid or other
products that might scratch or mark
the surface.
• Foods that accidentally fall or settle
on the surface, on the functional or
aesthetic elements of the hob must
not be consumed.
Cleaning the device
• Clean the hob after each use to pre-
vent any food residues from carbon-
ising. It is much harder work to re-
move encrusted and burnt-on dirt.
• For day-to-day dirt, use a soft cloth
or sponge and a suitable detergent.
Follow the manufacturer's recom-
mendations regarding detergents to
be used. The use of protective deter-
gents is recommended.
