METAL FILTERS CLEANING:
CARBON FILTERS REPLACEMENT: (For recirculated version only)
Fig.C
EN
Special attention should be reserved to the metal
grease filters. An excess of grease in the filter, as well
as affecting the performance of the hood, can also be
a fire risk. To avert fires, the filters must be cleaned
regularly at least once a month or more frequently, in
the case of a heavy use of the appliance.
According to your hood's model, remove one filter at a
time as shown in these pictures. Wash the filters
thoroughly with a non-bleach detergent, either by
hand or machine. Re-assemble the filters, making
sure that the handle faces the outside of the hood
The carbon filters can only retain odours for a limited
period of time. They cannot be washed, therefore, it is
recommended they are replaced at least once every
six months or more frequently in the case of a heavy
use of the appliance.
Before starting, make sure the hood is disconnected
from the mains supply.
