Maintenance and Care
• The hood must always be disconnected from the electricity supply before
beginning any maintenance work.
Cleaning the hood
• Clean the outside of the hood using a damp cloth and a mild washing up liquid
solution.
• Never use corrosive, abrasive or flammable cleaning products.
• Never insert pointed objects in the motor's protective grid.
• Never use caustic detergents or abrasive brushes or powders.
• Only ever clean the switch panel and filter grill using a damp cloth and mild washing
up liquid solution.
• It is extremely important to clean the unit and change the filters at the recommended
intervals. Failure to do so will cause grease deposits 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 extraction or internal recirculation
function. Attention: the metal grease filters must be removed and washed, either by
hand or in the dishwasher, every four weeks.
Removing the metal grease filter
• Pull out the visor, remove the rear grease filter pulling the handle designed for this
purpose, then proceed in the same way to remove the front grease filter. Fig. 2.
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 they are dry.
Dishwasher
• Place grease filters in dishwasher. Select most powerful washing programme and
highest temperature, at least 65°C. Repeat the process. Refit the grease filters when
they are dry. When washing the metal grease filter in the dishwasher a slight
discolouration of the filter can occur, this does not have any impact on its performance.
• Clean the inner housing using a hot detergent solution only (never use caustic
detergents, abrasive powders or brushes).
