2. + 3. power selection of suction 2
2. + 3. + 4.power selection of suction 3
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.
If the hood fails to operate correctly, briefly disconnect it from the
mains power supply for almost 5 sec. by pulling out the plug. 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 power supply.
Cleaning the hood
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.
Grease filter
This must be cleaned once a month using non aggressive detergents,
either by hand or in the dish-washer, which must be set to a low
temperature and a short cycle.
When washed in a dish-washer, the grease filter may discolour
slightly, but this does not affect its filtering capacity.
To remove the grease filter, pull the spring release handle (f) - (Fig. 1).
Charcoal filter (filter version only)
It absorbs unpleasant odours caused by cooking.
The charcoal filter can be washed once every two months using hot
water and a suitable detergent, or in a dish-washer at 65°C (if the dish-
washer 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 (Fig. 2).
Insert the pad (i) of activated carbon into the frame (h) and fit the whole
back into its housing (j).
Replacing lamps - Fig. 3
Warning!
Prior to touching the light bulbs ensure they are cooled down.
1. Extract the guard by levering it off with a small screwdriver or
similar tool.
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. Close the lamp cover (it will snap shut).
If the lights do not work, make sure that the lamps are fitted
properly into their housings before you call for technical
assistance.
Caution
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.
WARNING - Ensure that the appliance is switched off before replacing
the lamp to avoid the possibility of electric shock.
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.
