Operation
The hood is fitted with a control panel with aspiration speed
selection control and a light switch to control cooking area
lights.
The switch is located on the side of the suction grill H.
Use the high suction speed in cases of concentrated kitchen
vapours. It is recommended that the cooker hood suction is
switched on for 5 minutes prior to cooking and to leave in
operation during cooking and for another 15 minutes
approximately after terminating cooking.
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.
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 observing 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.
Grease filter
Traps cooking grease particles.
If situated inside the support grill, it may be one of the
following types:
Paper filter must be replaced once a month or if colouring
appears on upper side, in such cases the colouring is evident
through the grill openings.
Metallic filter must be cleaned once a month, with non
abrasive detergents, by hand or in dishwasher on low
temperature and short cycle.
When washed in a dishwasher, the grease filter may discolour
slightly, but this does not affect its filtering capacity.
To access the grease filter J open the suction grill H via the
release hooks L and free from the supports K.
Some models are provided with a metallic filter M without
support grill, these should be washed as described above
and removed from their housing by pressing the N handles
towards the bottom.
Charcoal filter (filter version only)
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.
The charcoal filter may NOT be washed or regenerated.
May be one of the following:
Rectangular: position the filter P in order to cover the motor
protection grill and turn the handle clockwise until locked-in,
for dismounting follow instructions in reverse.
Bayonet Circular-Insert position the filter in the centre (in
certain cases use the Z hooks for centring the filter) in order to
cover the motor protection grill ensuring that the X reference
on the carbon filter corresponds to the Y reference on the
conveyor, then turn clockwise; for dismounting follow
instructions in reverse.
Replacing lamps
Disconnect the appliance from the electricity.
Warning! Prior to touching the light bulbs ensure they are
cooled down.
Replace the old light bulb with the one of the same type as
specified in the feature label or near the light lamp on the
hood.
Remove the anti-grease filter support grill or the anti-grease
filter to access the lamp area. Remove the damaged lightbulb
and replace with an incandescent oval bulb maximum 40W
E14.
In the case where model is provided with a halogen lightbulb,
replace with halogen bulb of 20W (GU5.3 - Ø50mm).
If the lights do not work, make sure that the lamps are fitted
properly into their housings before you call for technical
assistance.
