Filters and maintenance
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.
Maintenance of the panel
Dismantling:
Extract with decision (LOWER SIDE) and
rotate upwards.
Unscrew the knobs which fix the panel to the
hood by using a coin and unhook it from the
upper fastening points.
Cleaning:
The panel must be cleaned as often as the
grease filter, wash by hand with non-
abrasive detergents.
Do not wash in dishwasher. Use the
drainpipes placed near the corners at the
back to make the water left inside flow.
DO NOT USE ALCOHOL!
Montage:
Proceed in the reverse direction for
dismantling.
Firmly screw in the fastening pawls by using
a coin.
Attention! Always check that the panel is
fixed in its place well. .
Grease filters:
Metal filters are used to trap the greasy
element of the vapours that develop during
cooking.
The filter mats are made from
noncombustible metal.
Caution:
As the filter becomes more and more
saturated with grease, not only does the risk
of it catching fire increase but the efficiency
of the extractor hood can also be adversely
affected.
Important:
By cleaning the metal grease filters at
appropriate intervals, the possibility of them
catching fire as a result of a build-up of heat
such as occurs when deep-fat frying or
roasting is taking place, is reduced.
Cleaning the metal grease filters:
❑ These must be cleaned once a month (or
when the filter saturation indication
system – if envisaged on the model in
possession – indicates this necessity).
❑ The filters can be cleaned in a
dishwasher. It is however possible that
they will become slightly discoloured.
❑ The filter must be placed loosely, and
NOT wedged, in the dishwasher.
Important: Metal filters that are saturated
with grease should not be washed
together with other dishes etc.
❑ When cleaning the filters by hand, soak
them in hot soapy water first of all. Then
brush the filters clean, rinse them
thoroughly and leave the water to drain
off.
