4-MAINTENANCEANDCLEANING
Regular maintenance and cleaning will
ensure good performance and reliabi-
lity, while extending the working-life of
the hood. Special attention should be
reserved to the grease filter and to the
charcoal filter (recycling mode).
4.1 - Grease filter
This retains the solid grease particles
and can be supplied in different types.
lt is fitted onto the reverse side of the
metal grille panel. Maintenance of the
grease filter varies according to the
used type.
a-Whatever type of filters used, the filter
is easily removed from the grille by
pushing the metal wire clips to one
side and removing.
b-Thin synthetic filter (1 mm thick). It
should not be washed and should be
replaced every two months. If the filter
is provided with a saturation indicator,
replace when:
b.1-The violet colour of the dots, which
are visible through the metal grille, is
spread over the whole surface of the
filter.
b.2-The red colour of the stripes, which
is not visible through the metal grille
when the filter is clean, becomes
visible from the outside of the metal
grille.
c-Multi-layer metal filter. It should be
washed once a month in hot water
using mild detergent or liquid soap.
It can be washed in a dish-washer. It
should not be bent and should be left
to drain dry.
WARNING: An excess of grease in the
filter not only would affect the perfor-
mance of the hood, but it is also a pos-
sible fire risk. We strongly recommend
therefore to clean and replace filters
in accordance with the manufacturer
instructions.
MAINTENANCE
4.2-CleaningMetalself-
supporting Grease Filters
• The filters are washable and must be
cleaned at least every 2 months of
operation, or more
frequently for particularly heavy usage.
• Remove the filters one at a time by
pushing them towards the back of the
group and pulling down at the same
time.
• Wash the filters, taking care not to
bend them. Allow them to dry before
refitting.
• When refitting the filters, make sure
that the handle is visible on the out-
side.
4.3 - Charcoal filter
The charcoal filter is a chemical filter to
be used only when the hood is in the
recycling position. To replace the char-
coal filter, open the grille and remove the
thumb screw through the centre of the
charcoal filter. If the filter is of the inter-
locking type, turn the filter anticlockwise.
Replace by reversing the operation.
For a good performance replace the
charcoal filter on average every three
months.
4.4 - Worktop illumination
If a lamp fails to function at any time,
open the metal grille panel and check
that the lamp is fully screwed into the
holder. When changing the lamp, an
identical replacement must be fitted to
ensure a safe working of the hood.
4.5 - Cleaning
The metal work should be cleaned
regularly, at least once a month, using
mild household cleaner and
polish. Never use abrasives. For all ope-
rations from point .1 to point . and in
particular for point .3,
pay special attention to the safety regu-
lation 1.9.
