Maintenance

The hood must always be disconnected

from the mains power supply before

beginning any maintenance work.

Cleaning

• Warning: always disconnect the hood from

the mains power supply before cleaning it.

Never insert pointed objects in the motor's

protective grid.

• Wash the outside surfaces using a delicate

detergent solution. Never use caustic deter-

gents or abrasive brushes or powders.

• Only ever clean the switch panel and filter

grille using a damp cloth and delicate deter-

gents.

• It is extremely important to clean the unit and

change the filters at the recommended inter-

vals. Failure to do so will cause grease depos-

its to build up that could constitute a fire

hazard.

Metal grease filter

• The purpose of the grease filters is to aspirate

grease particles which form during cooking

and it must always be used, either in the

external evacuation or internal recycling

function.

Attention: the metal grease filters must be

removed and washed, either by hand or in

the dishwasher, every four weeks.

Open the metal grease filter

• Pull the handles backwards to loosen the

filter. Fig. 4.

Hand washing

Soak grease filters for about one hour in hot

water with a grease-loosening cleaner, then

rinse off thoroughly with hot water. Repeat

the process if necessary. Refit the grease

filters when it are dry.

Dishwasher machine

Place grease filters in dish washer. Select

most powerful washing programme and

highest temperature, at least 65°C. Repeat the

process. Refit the grease filters when it are

dry.

When washing the metal grease filter in the

dishwasher a slight discoloration of the filter

can occur, this does not have any impact on

its performance.

• Clean the inner housing using a hot deter-

gent solution only (never use caustic deter-

gents, abrasive powders or brushes).

Warning

• Failure to observe the instructions on clean-

ing the unit and changing the filters will

cause a fire hazard. You are therefore

strongly recommended to follow these in-

structions.

• 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 recom-

mendations.
