MAINTENANCE
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.
Metal grease filter (2 or 3 pieces)
The metal grease filter lasts forever and must be washed either by
hand or in the dishwasher (65°C) with suitable detergents. The grease
filters must be washed at least once a month.
Remove the filter using the handles designed for this purpose by pulling
the filter backwards and then downwards (Fig. 2).
Let the filter dry without damaging it before putting it back into place.
Carry out the above steps in reverse order, to put the filters back after having washed them.
Carbon filter (2 pieces)
This filter dissolves cooking odors.
The carbon filter must never be washed.
It should be changed every 4 months with normal use.
Fitting and replacing the carbon filter:
1. Disconnect the hood from the electricity.
2. Remove the metal grease filters (Fig. 2)
3. If the filters have not been installed, place one filter on each side so that they cover
the grates protecting the rotor on the motor. Then turn the centre handle for the
filters in the clockwise direction (Fig. 3).
4. If the charcoal filters have already been installed (covering the grates protecting the
rotor on the motor) and must be replaced, turn the central handle in the
counter-clockwise direction until the filters are unlocked. e) Refit the metal grease
filters.
Cleaning
To clean the outside of the hood use a cloth moistened with denatured alcohol or neutral
liquid detergents. Never use products containing abrasive. Wipe brushed stainless steel in
the same direction as the brushing to avoid scratching.
Attention
Failure to observe the rules for cleaning the appliance and changing and cleaning
the filters can cause fires. Therefore, we recommend observing these
instructions.
