Operating your appliance

4.1 Use and maintenance

We recommend that the cooker hood is
•
switched on before any food is cooked. We
also recommend that the appliance is left run-
ning for 15 minutes after the food is cooked, in
order to thoroughly eliminate all contaminated
air. The effective performance of the cooker
hood depends on constant maintenance; the
anti-grease filter and the active carbon filter
both require special attention.
The anti-grease filter is responsible retain-
•
ing the grease particles suspended in the air,
therefore it is subject to clogging with variable
frequency according to the use of the appli-
ance.
- To prevent the danger of possible fires, at
least every 2 months one must wash the an-
ti-grease filters by hand using non-abrasive
neutral liquid detergents or in the dishwasher
at low temperatures and on short cycles.
- After a few washes, colour alterations may
occur. This does not give the right to claim
their replacement.
The active carbon filters are used to purify
•
the air that is sent back into the room and its
function is to mitigate the unpleasant odours
produced by cooking.
- The non-regenerable active carbon filters
must be replaced at least every 4 months.
The saturation of the active charcoal de-
pends on the more or less prolonged use of
the appliance, on the type of kitchen and on
the frequency with which anti-grease filter is
cleaned.
Before remounting the anti-grease filters
•
and the regenerable active charcoal filters
it is important that they are completely
dry.
Cooker Hood / User Manual
Clean the hood frequently, both internally
•
and externally, using a cloth dampened
with denatured alcohol or neutral liquid
detergents that are non abrasive.
The lighting .system is designed for use dur-
•
ing cooking and not for the prolonged general
lighting of the room. The prolonged use of the
lighting system significantly decreases the av-
erage duration of the bulbs.
If the appliance is equipped with courtesy lights
•
it is possible to use them for general room light-
ing for a prolonged amount of time.
The non compliance with the hood
cleaning warnings and with the re-
A
placement and cleaning of the fil-
ters entails risk of fires. Therefore
recommends keeping to the sug-
gested instructions.
