Maintenance
Disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply
before performing any type of maintenance work on
it.
To ensure the hood operates efficiently and
consistently, we recommend that maintenance is
performed regularly (every ten days on average).
Cleaning the outside of the appliance
Clean the external surfaces of the appliance
regularly.
To clean the hood thoroughly, use a cloth which has
been dampened with alcohol or any of the special
cleaning products currently available in shops.
Do not use products which contain abrasive
substances.
Cleaning the grease filter
The grease filter is used to trap suspended particles
of grease which are produced during the cooking
process.
It should be cleaned once a month using non-aggres-
sive detergent, either manually or in the dishwasher,
at a low temperature using a short cycle.
If cleaned in the dishwasher the filter may become
opaque over time, but its filtering capacity will not be
diminished in any way.
Fig. 5
Remove it using the handle attached, pushing it
backwards then pulling it downwards (Fig. 5).
After washing it, dry it carefully and replace it,
following the above instructions in reverse order.
Replacing the carbon filter
The carbon filter is used to remove grease and
odours from the air before it is released back into the
room through the upper grille.
The carbon filter may be washed every two months,
using hot water and suitable detergent or a
dishwasher cycle at 65°C (if cleaned in the
dishwasher, run an entire cycle when no crockery is
inside).
10
Remove excess water without damaging the filter,
then remove the matting inside the plastic frame and
place the filter in the oven at 100°C for 10 minutes to
dry it thoroughly.
Replace the active carbon filter every three years or
if it is damaged
To fit or replace the carbon filter:
Remove the grease filter(s).
Fit the frame holding the carbon filter in place and fix
it to the motor assembly using 4 screws.
Position the carbon filter matting over the frame and
fix it in place using the bracket provided.
Fit the grease filter(s).
Resetting the saturation indicator
After cleaning or replacing the filter, press and hold
button 1 for 3 seconds, until LED 4 or 5 stops
flashing. Please see page 4.
Warning! The filter saturation indicator MUST be
reset when the hood is in Standby, therefore the hood
should not be disconnected from the electricity
supply.
Warning:
The manufacturer will not be held responsible for any
motor damage or fires where the maintenance of the
filters has not been performed as described in this
manual.
