MAINTENANCE
Before cleaning or carrying out maintenance operations,
disconnect the equipment by removing the plug or
switching off the main switch.
Do not use detergents containing abrasive, acidic or corrosive
substances or abrasive cloths.
Regular maintenance guarantees proper operation and performance
over time.
Special attention is to be paid to the metal anti-grease filters : fre-
quent cleaning of the filters and their supports ensures that no flamma-
ble grease is accumulated.
CLEANING OF EXTERNAL SURFACES
You are advised to clean the external surfaces of the hood at least once
every 15 days to prevent oily substances and grease from sticking to
them. To clean the brushed stainless steel hood, the Manufacturer rec-
ommends using "Magic Steel" wipes.
Alternatively and for all the other types of surfaces, it can be cleaned
using a damp cloth, slightly moistened with mild, liquid detergent or
denatured alcohol.
Complete cleaning by rinsing well and drying with soft cloths.
Do not use too much moisture or water around the push
button control panel and lighting devices in order to pre-
vent humidity from reaching electronic parts.
The glass panels can only be cleaned with specific, non-corrosive or
non-abrasive detergents using a soft cloth.
The Manufacturer declines all responsibility for failure to comply with
these instructions.
CLEANING OF INTERNAL SURFACES
Do not clean electrical parts, or parts related to the motor
inside the hood, with liquids or solvents.
For the internal metal parts, see the previous paragraph.
METAL ANTI-GREASE FILTERS
It is advised to frequently wash the metal filters (at least once a
month) leaving them to soak in boiling water and cleaning solution for
1 hour, taking care not to bend them.
Do not use corrosive, acid or alkaline detergents.
Rinse them well and wait for them to be completely dry before reas-
sembling them.
Washing in a dishwasher is permitted, however, it may cause the filter
material to darken: to reduce the possibility of this problem from hap-
pening, use low-temperature washes (131°F / 55°C max.).
To extract and insert the metal anti-grease filters see the assembly in-
structions.
ACTIVE CARBON FILTERS
These filters retain the odours in the air that passes through them. The
purified air is recirculated into the environment.
The active carbon filters must be replaced on average every 3-4 months
under normal conditions of use.
See assembly instructions to replace the active carbon filters.
LIGHTING
The range hood is equipped with high efficiency, low consumption
LED spotlights with an extremely long life-span under normal use con-
ditions.
Should the LED spotlight need to be replaced, proceed as shown in
the figure.

DISPOSAL AFTER END OF USEFUL LIFE
The crossed-out trash or refuse bin symbol on the appliance
means that the product is WEEE, i.e. "Waste electrical and
electronic equipment'' , accordingly it must not be disposed
of with regular unsorted waste (i.e. with ''mixed household waste''),
but it must be disposed of separately so that it can undergo specific
processing for its re-use, or a specific treatment, to remove and safely
dispose of any substances that may be harmful to the environment and
remove the raw materials that can be recycled. Proper disposal of these
products contributes to saving valuable resources and avoid potential
negative effects on personal health and the environment, which may
be caused by inappropriate disposal of waste.
You are kindly asked to contact your local authorities for further infor-
mation regarding the designated waste collection points nearest to
you. Penalties for improper disposal of such waste can be applied in
compliance with national regulations.
INFORMATION ON DISPOSAL IN NON-EUROPEAN UNION COUN-
TRIES
The crossed-out trash or refuse bin symbol is only valid in the European
