Using the hood
The hood is provided with several speeds.
For the best performance, we recommend
using the low speeds in normal conditions
and the high speeds when strong odour and
vapour concentrations are present.
We recommend starting the hood a few
minutes before cooking and keeping it
running for at least 15 minutes until all the
odours have been eliminated.
Maintenance
Caution! Before performing any
maintenance, disconnect the hood from
the electrical supply.
Grease Filter
The grease filter serves to trap grease
particles by suspending them.
1. Synthetic Filter (thickness: 10-15 mm):
wash the filter in warm water and a
biodegradable detergent once a month.
Let dry without wringing. Replace after
the filter has been washed 5 or 6 times.
2. Thin Synthetic Filter (approximately 1
mm thick): replace when the coloring
from the top is visible on the bottom part.
3. Thin Synthetic Filter (approximately 1
mm thick - without saturation indicator)
replace every two months.
4. Metal Filter: unlimited life; wash every
month in warm soapy water, or, if
possible, in the dishwasher (60°C). Let
dry before reinstalling it.
Removing the Grease Filters (for models
wtih grease filter support grates)
To remove the dirty grease filter, proceed as
follows:
a) Remove the pull-out drawer completely
and open the ventilation grates that
support the grease filters.
b) Remove the L fasteners for the grease
filter and remove it (Fig. 11). If special
metal filters have been installed, press
on the plastic springs (S) to unhook them
(Fig. 4).
c) When washing or replacing the grease
filter, wash the grate as well with warm
soapy water.
GB
d) Remount the new filter or the old one
after it has dried thoroughly.
Charcoal Filter
The charcoal filter serves to eliminate odours
that form during the cooking process. Under
normal use conditions, the filter should be
replaced every 4 months. It can be ordered
from the retailer. The charcoal filter must
never be washed.
To remove the charcoal filter, proceed as
follows:
a. Remove the pull-out drawer.
b. Remove the grease filters and open the
light cover support (or the greas filter
support grate).
c. Turn the center knob on the charcoal
filter in the counterclockwise direction
and remove the filter from its seat (Fig. 6,
in reverse).
Replacing the Lamp
a. Remove the pull-out drawer.
b. Open the light cover support or the back
grease filter support grate.
c. Replace the burned out lamp, using only
40W (max) olive-shaped bulbs (E14).
d. Before calling for customer service
because the lighting system does not
work, make sure that the lamps are
screwed in tightly.
Cleaning
To clean the outside of the hood use a cloth
moistened with denatured alcohol or neutral
liquid detergents. Never use products
containing abrasives.
Attention
Failure to observe the instructions for
cleaning the appliance and changing and
cleaning the filters may cause fires.
Therefore, we recommend observing these
instructions.
