• 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
depends on constant maintenance; the anti-
grease filter and the active carbon filter both
require special attention.
• The anti-grease filter is used to trap any grease
particles suspended in the air, therefore is subject
to saturation (the time it takes for the filter to
become saturated depends on the way in which
the appliance is used).
- To prevent potential fi re hazards, the anti-grease
fi lters should be washed a minimum of every
2 months (it is possible to use the dishwasher for
this task).
- After a few washes, the colour of the fi lters may
change. This does not mean they have to be
replaced.
If the replacement and washing instructions are
not followed, the anti-grease fi lters may present a
fi re hazard.
• The acrylic filter, which is found resting on the
grille, should be replaced when the text, visible
through the grille, changes colour and the ink
spreads; the new filter should be fitted in such a
way that the text can be seen through the grille
from outside the cooker hood.
• If the filters do not have any text on them, or if
metal filters or aluminium panel filters are used,
they should be washed every 2 months in order to
prevent the risk of fire.
To wash the filters, proceed as follows:
- Remove the filter from the grille and wash it using
a solution of water and neutral liquid detergent,
leaving the dirt to soften.
- Rinse thoroughly with warm water and leave to
dry.
Safety precautions
• The active carbon filters are used to purify the
air which is released back into the room. The
filters are not washable or re-usable and must
be replaced at least once every four months. The
active carbon filter saturation level depends on the
frequency with which the appliance is used, the
type of cooking performed and the regularity with
which the anti-grease filters are cleaned.
• Remove build-up from the fan and other surfaces
of the cooker hood regularly using a cloth moistened
with denatured alcohol or non-abrasive neutral liquid
detergent.
CAUTION!
Wear gloves during the installation of the product
otherwise injury at fi ngers could happen by sharp
edges.
