Maintenance

!It is always necessary to isolate the hood from the power supply during cleaning and maintenance. Therefore remove the plug.

We recommend carrying our maintenance regularly (about every 10 days) to ensure efficacious and constant performance of the hood.

Cleaning the hood

The hood should be cleaned frequently, both internally and externally. Use a cloth damped in neutral detergent liquids.

Avoid the use of products containing abrasives. Attention: failure to observe the cleaning regulations of the hood and the substitution and cleaning of the filters leads to the risk of fire. We therefore recommend keeping to the suggested instructions.

Cleaning the grease filters

The fats filter serves to capture the particles of fat in suspension that come from the cooking.

It must be cleaned once a month with non-aggressive detergents manually or in a dishwasher at low temperature and short cycle.

If washed in a dishwasher it can become opaque over time but its filtering ability is not lessened in any way. Dismantle it using the corresponding handles, pushing them backward first and then pulling them down.

After having washed it, dry it carefully and assemble it again in its seat, reversing the procedure.

Clean the perimeter suction panel (when envisaged) with the same frequency as the anti-fat filter. Use a cloth and a not too concentrated liquid detergent. Never use abrasive substances.

Cleaning the carbon filter

The charcoal filter can be washed once every two months using hot water and a suitable detergent, or in

adish-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.

Mounting and changing the filter

To remove the panels pull them back (the support pins will disconnect from the housing).

Pull the spring disconnection handle to dismantle the fats filter.

Carbon filter

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).
