filters. Frequent cleaning of the filters and their supports will ensure that fats and grease do
not accumulate on the range hood, with the consequent risk of fire.
1. METAL GREASE-TRAPPING FILTERS
These trap the fat and grease particles suspended in the air, and therefore should be
washed every month in hot water and detergent, without bending them. Wait until they
are completely dry before repositioning them. To remove and replace these filters, see
the instructions in point H1. This operation should be performed at regular intervals.
2. CHARCOAL FILTERS
These trap the odours present in the stream of air that passes through them. The air is
purified by passing a number of times through the filters and being recirculated into the
kitchen. The charcoal filters cannot be cleaned, and should be replaced on average every
3-4 months (according to use). To replace the charcoal filters, see the instructions in point
H2.
3. CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE APPLIANCE
It is advised to clean the external hood surfaces at least every 15 days in order to avoid
that oily or greasy substances affect the steel surfaces.
The ouside of the range hhod should be cleaned using a damp cloth and neutral liquid
detergent or denatured alcohol.
In case of fingerprint-less finish (fasteel) clean only with water and neutral soap using
clean with a soft cloth, rinse and wipe dry thoroughly. Do not use products that contain
abrasive substances, rough cloths or cloths specifically designed for cleaning steel. Using
abrasive substances or rough cloths will inevitably damage the finish of steel. The steel
surface will be irrevocably damaged if the instructions above are not complied with. Keep
these instructions together with the instructions for use of your hood.
The manufacturer accepts no liability for any damage caused by non-compliance with the
instructions above.
4. CLEANING THE INSIDE OF THE APPLIANCE
The electrical parts or parts of the motor assembly inside the range hood must not be
cleaned using liquids or solvents.
Do not use abrasive products.
All the above operations must be performed after having disconnected the appliance from the
mains power supply.

SAFETY WARNINGS
The electrical system features an earth connection in compliance with international safety
standards; furthermore, it is compliant with the European standard for electromagnetic com-
patibility.
Do not connect the appliance to flues (from boilers, fireplaces, etc.). Make sure the mains volt-
age corresponds to the values on the rating plate located inside the range hood. The minimum
safety distance between the cooktop and the range hood must be at least 65 cm.
Never cook on "open" flames under the range hood.
Check deep-fryers during use: superheated oil may be flammable.
- Ensure there is adequate ventilation of the room when the rangehood is used at the same
time as appliances burning gas or other fuels.
- Do not flambe under the rangehood
- The exhaust air must not be discharged into a flue which is used for exhausting fumes from
appliances burning gas or other fuels.
- Ensure that all regulations concerning the discharge of exhaust air have been fulfilled before
you use the appliance.
