6 - MAINTENANCE
Regular maintenance will ensure good performance and extend the working life of
hood. Special attention should be taken to the grease fi lters and, for the fi lter hoods only, to the
charcoal fi lters.
6.1 - Metal grease fi lters
1 - Cleaning
These fi lters need to be washed with ordinary household
detergent every 2 months maximum. Thanks to their
reduced dimensions, they can also be washed in the
dishwasher.
2 - Removing the fi lter
Open the grid panel, remove the steel wire clips and the
grease fi lter (fi g. 13). Make sure that the fi lter is dry before
replacing it, close the grid panel.
WARNING : Respect replacement and maintenance
schedules recommended in order to avoid fi re hazar-
ds caused by over-saturated fi lters.
6.2 - Charcoal fi lters
1 - How they work
Charcoal fi lters can absorb smells and odours until they are saturated.
They cannot be washed or recycled and so they should be replaced
at least every 4 months or more frequently if the hood is heavily
used.
2 - Replacement:
Open the grid panel, replace the charcoal fi lter by turning the locking
handle anti-clockwise for removing and clockwise for replacing (fi g.
14). Close the grid panel.
6.3 - Lighting
It is composed of one or two 40 W lamps which can be
reached by removing the grid panel (Fig.15). If the lights
fail to function, check that they are fully screwed into
place. If they have blown, they should be replaced with
similar lamps having the same voltage and power.
6.4 - Cleaning
When cleaning the hood:
- Never use a wet cloth or sponge, or running water.
- Never use thinners or products containing alcohol, as
they might damage the paintwork.
- Never use abrasive cleaning materials, in particular when cleaning stainless steel surfaces.
It is recommended to use a damp cloth and mild liquid household cleaner.
