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.
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!
Grease filter
Fig. 5
This must be cleaned once a month (or when the filter saturation indication system – if envisaged on the model in possession – indicates this necessity) 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 stainless steel grid “U”, by unscrewing knob “T”.
Charcoal filter (filter version only)
Fig. 7
It absorbs unpleasant odours caused by cooking.
The charcoal filter can be washed once every two months (or when the filter saturation indication system – if envisaged on the model in possession – indicates this necessity) using hot water and a suitable detergent, or in a dishwasher at 65°C (if the dishwasher is used, select the full cycle function and leave dishes out).
Eliminate excess water without damaging the filter, then remove the mattress located inside the plastic frame and put it in the oven for 10 minutes at 100° C to dry completely. Replace the mattress every 3 years and when the cloth is damaged.
Remove the filter holder frame by turning the knobs (g) 90° that affix the chimney to the cooker hood.
Insert the pad (i) of activated carbon into the frame (h) and fit the whole back into its housing (j).
It is possible to use a traditional carbon filter, neither washable nor regenerable, to be replaced every 3 - 4 months. The filter holder frame of the carbon filter is welded together; the eventual frame supplied with the hood is not, therefore, to be used.
Insert it into its housing and fix it turning the 2 plastic knobs.
Replacing lamps
Fig. 2
Disconnect the hood from the electricity.
Warning! Prior to touching the light bulbs ensure they are cooled down.
1.Unscrew the lamp cover.
2.Replace the damaged light bulb.
Only use halogen bulbs of 20W max (G4), making sure you do not touch them with your hands.
3.Refit the lamp cover.
If the lights do not work, make sure that the lamps are fitted properly into their housings before you call for technical assistance.
Caution
Never use the hood without the grill mounted!
The hood must NEVER be used as a support unless expressly indicated.
The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision.
Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
The premises must have sufficient ventilation when the kitchen hood is used at the same time as other apparatuses fuelled by gas or other fuels.
The sucked air must not be conveyed in a conduit used for discharging fumes produced by apparatuses fuelled by gas or other fuels.
Cooking food on the flame under the hood is severely prohibited.
The use of open flame damages the filters and can cause a fire; it must therefore be avoided in any case.
Frying must be carried out under control in order to prevent overheated oil catching fire.
Keep strictly to the regulations envisaged by the competent local authority as far as the technical and safety measures to adopt for discharging fumes are concerned.
The hood is to be cleaned frequently both internally and externally.
Failure to observe the regulations about cleaning the hood and substituting and cleaning the filters can lead to the risk of fire.
Any responsibility is declined for possible inconveniences, damage or fire caused to the apparatus deriving from failure to observe the instructions shown in this manual.
