Cleaning and maintenance
During cleaning and maintenance work,

Cleaning the hood body

•If your kitchen hood is made of stainless steel,
use proprietary cleaners mentioned in the product
instructions.
•If your kitchen hood is painted, use lukewarm water
and a neutral soap.
•Never use metallic scourers, nor abrasive or
corrosive products.
•Dry the kitchen hood using a cloth that does not
produce fibres.
•Do not use vapour cleaners
Proceed with the following checks before calling the Technical Service:
Problem
The kitchen hood does
not work.
The kitchen hood does
not extract sufficiently
or vibrates.
•To remove the filters from their fittings, press
lightly on the locks and then pull them off.
•The metal filters can be cleaned by soaking
them in hot water with neutral detergent until the
fat dissolves and then rinsing them under the tap
or using special anti-grease products. They can
also be washed in a dishwasher. In this case, it
is advisable to stack them vertically to avoid food
residues to stick to them.
•Cleaning in a dishwasher may damage the
metallic surface (blackening it), although this will
not affect its fat retention capacity.
•Once clean, leave them to dry off and then fit them
onto the kitchen hood.
•Remove the grease collector as described at the
end of this manual. Clean it in the same way
that filter.
• To install the activated charcoal filter, see the end of
this manual.
• The carbon filter lasts from three to six months
depending on the particular conditions of use.
• The activated carbon filter can neither be washed
nor regenerated. Once it is exhausted, it must be
changed.
