We have two different types of Kit, one with non-regene-
rable active carbon filters (Fig.7B) and the other one with
regenerable active charcoal filters (washable) (Fig.7C).
- To replace the non-regenerable active carbon filters X,
pull lever outwards as shown in Fig.7B.
USE AND MAINTENANCE
• We recommend that the cooker hood is switched on
before any food is cooked. We also recommend that the
appliance is left running for 15 minutes after the food is
cooked, in order to thoroughly eliminate all contaminated
air. The effective performance of the cooker hood depen-
ds on constant maintenance; the anti-grease filter and
the active carbon filter both require special attention.
• The anti-grease filter is responsible retaining the
grease particles suspended in the air, therefore it is
subject to clogging with variable frequency according
to the use of the appliance.
- To prevent the danger of possible fires, at least every
2 months one must wash the anti-grease filters by hand
using non-abrasive neutral liquid detergents or in the
dishwasher at low temperatures and on short cycles.
- After a few washes, colour alterations may occur. This
does not give the right to claim their replacement.
• The active carbon filters are used to purify the
air that is sent back into the room and its function is to
mitigate the unpleasant odours produced by cooking.
- The non-regenerable active carbon filters must be
replaced at least every 4 months. The saturation of the
active charcoal depends on the more or less prolonged
use of the appliance, on the type of kitchen and on the
frequency with which anti-grease filter is cleaned.
- Regenerable active charcoal filters must be washed
by hand, with non abrasive neutral detergents, or in the
dishwasher at a maximum temperature of 65°C (the wa-
shing cycle must be complete without dishware). Remove
excess water without damaging the filter, remove the
plastic parts, and let the mat dry in the oven for at least
15 minutes approximately at a maximum temperature of
100°C. To keep the regenerable charcoal filter functio-
ning efficient this operation must be repeated every 2
months. These must be replaced at least every 3 years
or when the mat is damaged.
• Before remounting the anti-grease filters and the
regenerable active charcoal filters it is important
that they are completely dry.
• Clean the hood frequently, both internally and
externally, using a cloth dampened with denatured
alcohol or neutral liquid detergents that are non
abrasive.
• The lighting .system is designed for use during cooking
and not for the prolonged general lighting of the room.
The prolonged use of the lighting system significantly
decreases the average duration of the bulbs.
• If the appliance is equipped with courtesy lights it
is possible to use them for general room lighting for a
prolonged amount of time.
• Attention: the non compliance with the hood cleaning
warnings and with the replacement and cleaning of the
filters entails risk of fires. One therefore recommends
keeping to the suggested instructions.
