MAINTENANCE
Before cleaning or carrying out maintenance operations, discon-
nect 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 : frequent clean-
ing of the filters and their supports ensures that no flammable grease is accu-
mulated.
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 recommends 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 prevent humidity
from reaching electronic parts.
The glass panels can only be cleaned with specific, non-corrosive or non-abra-
sive detergents using a soft cloth.
The Manufacturer declines all responsibility for failure to comply with these in-
structions.
GLASS CLEANING
To remove the glass, see the assembly 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 reassembling
them.
Washing in a dishwasher is permitted, however, it may cause the filter material to
darken: to reduce the possibility of this problem from happening, use low-tem-
perature washes (55°C max.).
To extract and insert the metal anti-grease filters see the assembly instructions.
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 hood has fluorescent lamp lighting.
If the lamp ever needs to be replaced,
see instructions
.
