Maintenance
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.
Grease filter - Fig. 2
The hood has a metal grease filter.
The grease filter serves to trap particles of
grease through suspension.
The metal grease filter lasts forever and must be
washed either by hand or in the dishwasher
(65°C) with suitable detergents.
The grease filters must be washed at least once
a month.
When washed in a dish washer, the grease filter
may discolour slightly, but this does not affect its
filtering capacity.
To remove the metal grease filter
1. Disconnect the hood from the electricity.
2. Push handles A toward the centre.
Carry out the above steps in reverse order to put
the filters back after having washed them, making
sure the entire extraction surface is covered.
Active carbon filter - Fig. 3
The active carbon filter eliminates odours which
are formed during cooking.
If used with normal frequency it should be
replaced once every 6 months.
New active carbon filters are available from the
supplier; it must not be washed.
To dismount the carbon filter:
1. Disconnect the hood from the electricity.
2. Remove the metal filters.
3. Remove exhausted carbon filter, push release
button C and pull carbon filter downwards.
To fit the carbon filter:
1. Fit the carbon filter by sliding it OVER the metal
tabs D and hook it into housings E.
Put the metal filter back into place.
Cleaning
To clean the outside of the hood use a cloth
moistened with denatured alcohol or neutral liquid
detergents. Never use products containing
abrasive.
Wipe brushed stainless steel in the same direction
as the brushing to avoid scratching.
Clean the external surface of the cooker hood
almost once every 10 days.
Attention
Failure to observe the rules for cleaning the
appliance and changing and cleaning the filters
may cause fires.
Therefore, we recommend observing these
instructions.
Changing the bulbs
1. Disconnect the hood from the electricity.
2. Open the lampholder compartment by turning
the neon-protecting tabs anti-clockwise (Fig.
3, Q).
3. Always replace burn-out bulbs with olive-
shaped max 40 Watt (E14) bulbs.
4. Close the lampholder.
Before calling for repair service because the
hood fails to light up, make sure the bulbs are
screwed in tightly.
