Maintenance and Care

The hood must always be disconnected from the electricity

supply before beginning any maintenance work.

Cleaning the hood

• Clean the outside of the hood using a damp cloth and a solution of

water and mild washing up liquid.

• Never use corrosive, abrasive or flammable cleaning products or

products containing bleach.

• Never insert pointed objects in the motor’s protective grid.
• Only ever clean the switch panel and filter grill using a damp cloth

and mild washing up liquid.

• It is extremely important to clean the unit and change the filters at

the recommended intervals. Failure to do so will cause grease
deposits to build up that could constitute a fire hazard.

Metal grease filter

• The purpose of the grease filters is to absorb grease particles which

form during cooking and it must always be used, either in the
external extraction or internal re-circulation function.
Attention: the metal grease filters must be removed and washed,
either by hand or in the dishwasher, every four weeks.

Removing the metal grease filter

• First, push the metal grease filter stop backwards, then extract the

filter, pulling downwards. Fig. 3.

Hand washing

Soak grease filters for about one hour in hot water with a grease-
loosening cleaner, then rinse off thoroughly
with hot water. Repeat the process if
necessary. Refit the grease filters when
they are dry.

Dishwasher

Place grease filters in the
dishwasher. Select the
most powerful washing
programme and the highest
temperature, at least 65°C.
Repeat the process. Refit
the grease filters when they
are dry.
When washing the metal grease filter in the dishwasher a slight
discolouration of the filter can occur, this does not have any impact
on its performance.

• Clean the inner housing using a hand hot solution only(never use

caustic detergents, abrasive powders or brushes).
