MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Constant maintenance ensures the correct operation and efficiency of the appliance over
time. Special attention should be paid to the metal grease-trapping filters and the charcoal
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. CARBON ZEO FILTERS
The CARBON.ZEO filters do not require special maintenance. In normal conditions, we recom-
mend restoring them every 18 months and replace them every 3 years. Before starting any
operation, disconnect the hood from the power supply. To remove the filters see paragraph
H2.
To restore the CARBON.ZEO filter (every 18 months), place it into a normal domestic oven at a
temperature of 200° for about 2 hours. Once the filter has cooled down, remount the 4 filters
(3 type A and 1 type B) on the filter structure kit KACL.930, following the inverse procedure
described in point H2.
Reconnect the hood to the power suppply.
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
