Operation
The cooker hood is provided with a key or pushbutton control panel situated of the frontal part of the cooker hood, depending on the basis of the cooker hood type in possession. For proper operation consult the text below and the relative illustration.
Charcoal filter (filter version only)
It absorbs unpleasant odours caused by cooking.
The saturation of the charcoal filter 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 charcoal filter may NOT be washed or regenerated.
Carbon filter with central handle
Apply one on each side as cover to both the shield grids of the motor impeller, then turn the P central handle of the filters clockwise.
For the disassembly, turn the P central handle of each filter
a. ON/OFF lighting b. OFF motors
c. - d. - e. Minimum suction power (c.), medium (d.), maximum (e.).
Use the high suction speed in cases of concentrated kitchen vapours. It is recommended that the cooker hood suction is switched on for 5 minutes prior to cooking and to leave in operation during cooking and for another 15 minutes approximately after terminating cooking.
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 observing 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.
The grease filter 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.
Remove the grease filter by pushing the handles O towards the back, then rotate the filters N downwards.
Replacing lamps
Disconnect the hood from the electricity.
Warning! Prior to touching the light bulbs ensure they are cooled down.
Remove the grill.
Changed the damaged bulb using exclusively 40W max (E14) olive bulbs.
Put the grill back.
If the lights do not work, make sure that the lamps are fitted properly into their housings before you call for technical assistance.
