If the hood fails to operate correctly, briefly disconnect it from the mains power supply for about 5 sec. by pulling out the plug or switching it off at the main supply. Then plug it in again and try once more before contacting the Technical Assistance Service.

Maintenance

Prior to any maintenance operation ensure that the cooker hood is disconnected from the electrical outlet.

Cleaning

The cooker hood should be cleaned regularly internally and externally.

For cleaning use a cloth moistened with denatured alcohol or neutral liquid detergents. Avoid abrasive detergents. Warning:

Failure to carry out the basic standards of the cleaning of the cooker hood and replacement of the filters may cause fire risks. Therefore we recommend oserving these instructions.

Anti-grease Filter –

If situated inside the support grill, it may be one of the following types:

Paper filter must be replaced once a month or if colouring appears on upper side, in such cases the colouring is evident through the grill openings.

Sponge filter should be washed with hot soapy water once a month and replaced every 5 to 6 washes.

Metallic filter must be cleaned once a month, with non abrasive detergents, by hand or in dishwasher on low temperature and short cycle.

To obtain access to the grease filter J open the grill K via the hooks L and free the grill from the stoppers M.

Some models are provided with a metal filter N without support grill, this filter should be washed as instructions noted for metallic filter above and is removed from its placing by pushing the handles O towards the back and sliding the filter N downwards.

When washed in a dish-washer, the grease filter may discolour slightly, but this does not affect its filtering capacity. Only for model with electronic control panel:

Once the grease filters have been cleaned, press button 1 (see preceding page) for about 3 seconds until you hear the acoustic signal (beep): the LED 4 will now stop flashing. Carbon Filter

(2 pieces – only for filter version)

The active carbon filters E are not washable nor regenerative. It should be changed every 6 months in normal use. The active carbon filters capture unpleasant cooking odours.

Apply one on each side covering both grills protecting the motor propeller, then turn the filter central handles P clockwise. In order to dismantle turn the central handle P anti-clockwise for each filter.

Only for model with electronic control panel:

Once you have replaced the charcoal filter, press button 1 (see preceding page) for about 3 seconds until you hear the acoustic signal (beep).

LED 5 will now stop flashing.

Replacing lightbulbs

Remove the anti-grease filter support grill or the anti-grease filter to attain access to the lightbulb area. Remove the damaged lightbulb and replace with an incandescent oval bulb max. 40W E14.

If the cooker-hood comes with a halogen light, take off its protection by unscrewing (Z1) or by removing it (Z2 lifting with a small flat edged screwdriver). Remove the damaged bulb and substitute it with a max 20W halogen bulb (G4).

Caution

This appliance is designed to be operated by adults. Children should not be allowed to tamper with the controls or play with the appliance.

Do not use the cooker hood where the grill is not correctly fixed! The suctioned air must not be conveyed in the same channel used for fumes discharged by appliances powered by other than electricity. The environment must always be adequately aerated when the cooker hood and other appliances powered by other than electricity are used at the same time. Flambé cooking with a cooker hood is prohibited. The use of a free flame is damaging to the filters and may cause fire accidents, therefore free flame cooking must be avoided. Frying of foods must be kept under close control in order to avoid overheated oil catching fire. Carry out fumes discharging in accordance with the regulations in force by local laws for safety and technical restrictions.
