MAINTENANCE

ATTENTION: - Before performing any maintenance operation, isolate the hood from the electrical
supply by switching off at the connector and removing the connect or fuse. Or if the appliance has
been connected through a plug and socket, then the plug must be removed from the socket.
Cleaning
The cooker hood should be cleaned regularly (at least with the same frequency with which you
carry out maintenance of the fat filters) internally and externally. Clean using the cloth dampened
with neutral liquid detergent. Do not use abrasive products. DO NOT USE ALCOHOL.
WARNING: - Failure to carry out the basic cleaning recommendations of the cooker hood and
replacement of the filters may cause fire risks. Therefore, we recommend observing these
instructions.
The manufacturer declines all responsibility for any damage to the motor or any fire damage linked
to inappropriate maintenance or failure to observe the above safety recommendations.
Maintenance of the Anti-Grease Filters
This filter traps cooking grease particles.
The grease filter must be cleaned once a month 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 the filtering capacity.
To remove the grease filter pull the spring release handle.
Maintenance of the Charcoal Filter
It absorbs unpleasant odours caused by cooking.
The saturation of the activated charcoal occurs after
more or less prolonged use, depending on the type
of cooking and the regularity of cleaning of the
grease filter.
In any case it is necessary to replace the cartridge
at least every four months.
The carbon filter may NOT be washed or
regenerated.
Remove the grease filters.
Apply one charcoal filter each side and hook in onto
the hood.
Refit the grease filter.
