MAINTENANCE

ATTENTION:

The metal grease filter has an unlimited life and should be cleaned once a month by hand or in a dishwasher at low

temperature and with a short cycle. Cleaning in a dishwasher may cause discoloring of the grease filter, but its filtering

efficiency is unaffected.

Open the extraction panel (twist upwards).

Note: the panel does not need to be removed.

Pull out the handle to remove the filter.

Wash the filter and leave it to dry, proceeding in reverse order to refit.

CARBON FILTER (filter hoods only)

It retains the unpleasant odors produced during cooking.

Change the carbon filter every 4 months

2. Open the extraction panel and remove it.

3. Remove the grease filters.

4. Fit one carbon filter each side, covering both protection grilles of the motor impeller. Turn the filters clockwise to

secure them to the middle pins.

Proceed in reverse order to remove.

Re-fit the grease filters and extraction panel.
