MAINTENANCE
Before cleaning or carrying out maintenance operations, disconnect the equipment by removing the plug or switching of the
main switch.
Regular maintenance guarantees proper operation and good performance over time.
Special attention is to be paid to the metal anti-grease ilters and active carbon ilters. In fact, frequent cleaning of the ilters and their supports en-
sures that no grease is accumulated on the hood, which is dangerous and can cause ires.
EXTERNAL CLEANING
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, it can be cleaned using a damp
cloth, slightly moistened with neutral, liquid detergent or denatured alcohol. Finish of cleaning by rinsing well and drying with soft cloths.
Do not use too much water next to the push button control panel and lighting devices in order to prevent humidity from reach-
ing electronic parts. You must not use detergents containing abrasive, acid or corrosive substances or abrasive cloths: a direct
consequence of not complying with these warnings will result in irreversible deterioration of the hood's surface.
The glass panels can only be cleaned with speciic, 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 PARTS
It is forbidden to clean electrical parts, or parts related to the motor inside the hood, with liquids or solvents.
Do not use abrasive products. All these operations are to be carried out after having disconnected the equipment from the elec-
trical mains power supply.
METAL ANTI-GREASE FILTERS
The metal anti-grease ilters are there to contain suspended grease particles: deposited on the ilters, these feed on any
lames released when cooking, generate unpleasant odours, and compromise the passage of air, thus reducing suction
performance of the hood.
For this reason, it is advised to frequently wash the metal ilters (at least once a month) leaving them to soak in boiling
water and dish washing liquid 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 ilter material to darken: to reduce the possibility of this
problem from happening, use low-temperature washes (55°C max.).
Use the handle to take out the metal anti-grease ilters (see instructions
them.
ACTIVE CARBON FILTERS
Active carbon ilters have the function of retaining odours in the air low passing through them. The air, puriied by running
many times through the ilter, is recirculated into the kitchen. Active carbon ilters cannot be washed and are to be imme-
diately replaced every 3-4 months (depending on the frequency of use of the hood).
Dispose of the active carbon ilters in compliance with the regulations in force in the country of use.
