Maintenance
Prior to any maintenance operation ensure that the Rangehood
is disconnected from the power supply.
C l e a n i n g
The Rangehood should be cleaned regularly internally and
externally.
For cleaning use a cloth moistened with denatured alcohol
or neutral liquid detergents. Avoid abrasive detergents.
W a r n i n g :
Failure to carry out the basic standards of the cleaning of the
Rangehood and replacement of the filters may cause fire
risks.
Therefore we recommend observing these instructions.
Grease filter
This must be cleaned once a month using non abrasive
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
(f) - (Fig. 2).
Charcoal filter (filter version only)
This absorbs unpleasant odours caused by cooking.
The charcoal filter can be washed once every two months
using hot water and a suitable detergent, or in a dishwasher
at 65°C (if the dishwasher is used, select the full cycle
function and leave dishes out).
Eliminate excess water without damaging the filter, then
remove the mattress located inside the plastic frame and put
it in the oven for 10 minutes at 100° C to dry completely.
Replace the mattress every 3 years and when the cloth is
damaged.
Remove the filter holder frame by turning the knobs (g) 90°
that affix the chimney to the Rangehood (Fig. 3).
Insert the pad (i) of activated carbon into the frame (h) and
fit the whole back into its housing (j).
Replacing lamps - Fig. 4
Access the light compartment
press on the lamp cover and release to open.
W a r n i n g !
Prior to touching the light bulbs ensure they are cooled down.
Replace the damaged light bulb.
Only use halogen bulbs of 20W max (G4), making sure you
do not touch them with your hands.
Close the lamp cover (it will snap shut).
If the lights do not work, make sure that the lamps are
fitted properly into their housings before you call for
technical assistance.
Caution
The appliance is not intended for use by young children or
infirm persons without supervision.
Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do
not play with the appliance.
Do not use the Rangehood where the grill is not correctly
fixed! The suctioned air must not be conveyed in the same
channel used for fumes discharged by appliances powered
by other than electricity. The environment must always be
adequately aerated when the Rangehood and other appliances
powered by other than electricity are used at the same time.
Flambé cooking with a Rangehood is prohibited. The use
of a free flame is damaging to the filters and may cause fire
accidents, therefore free flame cooking must be avoided.
Frying of foods must be kept under close control in order to
avoid overheated oil catching fire. Carry out fumes
discharging in accordance with the regulations in force by
local laws for safety and technical restrictions.
