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 oserving 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.
This must be cleaned once a month using non
aggressive 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. (Fig. 1).
Charcoal filter (filter version only)
(Fig. 2)
It absorbs unpleasant odours caused by cooking.
The saturation of the activated charcoal 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 carbon filter may NOT be washed or regenerated.
Remove the grease filters.
Fit the charcoalfilters over the motor.
Align the pins R on the cowl with the slots S, then turn
the filter clockwise until it locks in place.
Reverse the above procedure to remove the charcoal
filters.
Refit the grease filters.
Replacing lamps
Disconnect the hood from the electricity.
Warning! Prior to touching the light bulbs ensure they
are cooled down.
Remove cover A to access the lamp housing A.
If the lights do not work, make sure that the lamps are
fitted properly into their housings before you call for
technical assistance.
