Part 2 - USE AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
3 - MAINTENANCE
Regular maintenance will ensure good performance and extend the working life of
the hood. Special attention should be taken to the grease filters and, for the filter
hoods only, to the charcoal filters.
3.1 - Synthetic grease filters
1 - They cannot be washed and
should be replaced every two
months on average. If the filter
is equipped with chemical
indicators of saturation, replace
it when the visible red-coloured
dots show all over the surface.
2 - Replacement
Open the grid panel, remove the
steel-wire clips and replace the
grease filter (fig. 13). Close the
grid panel.
3.2 - Metal grease filters
1 - Cleaning
These filters need to be washed with ordinary household detergent every 2 months
maximum. Thanks to their reduced dimensions, they can also be washed in the
dishwasher.
2 - Removing the filter
Open the grid panel, remove the steel wire clips and the grease filter (fig. 13). Make
sure that the filter is dry before replacing it, close the grid panel.
WARNING : Respect replacement and maintenance schedules recommended
in order to avoid fire hazards caused by over-saturated filters.
3.3 - Charcoal filters
1 - How they work
Charcoal filters can absorb smells and odours until they
are saturated. They cannot be washed or recycled and
so they should be replaced at least every 4 months or
more frequently if the hood is heavily used.
2 - Replacement:
Open the grid panel, replace the charcoal filter by turning
the locking handle anti-clockwise for removing and
clockwise for replacing (fig. 14). Close the grid panel.
