MAINTENANCE

EN
ATTENTION! Before performing any maintenance operation, isolate the hood
from the electrical supply by switching off at the connector and removing the
connector fuse.
Or if the appliance has been connected through a plug and socket, then the plug
must be removed from the socket.
Cleaning
The cooker hood should be cleaned regularly (at least with the same frequency
with which you carry out maintenance of the fat filters) internally and externally.
Clean using the cloth dampened with neutral liquid detergent. Do not use
abrasive products. DO NOT USE ALCOHOL!
WARNING: Failure to carry out the basic cleaning recommendations of the
cooker hood and replacement of the filters may cause fire risks.
Therefore, we recommend oserving these instructions.
The manufacturer declines all responsibility for any damage to the motor or any
fire damage linked to inappropriate maintenance or failure to observe the above
safety recommendations.
Maintenance of the anti-grease filters
Traps cooking grease particles.
This must be cleaned once a month (or when the filter saturation indication
system – if envisaged on the model in possession – indicates this necessity)
using non aggressive detergents, either by hand or in the dishwasher, which
must be set to a low temperature and a short cycle.
When washed in a dishwasher, the grease filter may discolour slightly, but this
does not affect its filtering capacity.
To remove the grease filter, pull the spring release handle.

Maintenance of the charcoal filter
It absorbs unpleasant odours caused by cooking.
The saturation of the charcoal filter occurs after more or less prolonged use,
depending on the type of cooking and the regularity of cleaning of the grease
filter.
In any case it is necessary to replace the cartridge at least every four mounths
(or when the filter saturation indication system – if envisaged on the model in
possession – indicates this necessity).The charcoal filter may NOT be washed or
regenerated.
Assembly
Hook the charcoal filter at the back on the metal tongue of the hood first, then on
the front with the two knobs.
Disassembly
Remove the charcoal filter by turning the knobs fixing it to the hood by 90°.
