6. Maintenance
6.1
Switch the light off and wait untill the bulbs are completely cooled down.
To remove the grease filter, take hold of the handle and pull the grease filter out downwards.
To refit the grease filter, push the filter towards the back, into the hood housing, take hold of the
handle and push the filter upwards, then return the handle to its position.
Follow the steps as shown in the specific mounting pictures (page 77).
6.2
The metallic grease filters are positioned on the bottom of the hood and are used to contain any
grease which is normally emitted in cooking fumes, thereby impeding the deterioration of the motor.
They can be washed either by hand or in the dishwasher. For washing by hand, use hot water and
soap; this can be done by hand brushing vigorously several times and then rinsing under the tap.
After washing, the grease filters should be dried and re-fitted correctly (see section "6.1").
Do not leave filters to dry in the dishwasher!
It is possible that after washing the filter will have slight change in the colour.
It is advised to wash the grease filters after circa 50 hours of use of the cooking top.
If the grease filters are very dirty, the motor can only take in a small quantity of air, and
performance is reduced.
The grease which accumulates on dirty filters is easily inflammable and can cause fires, if they are
not removed by periodic washes.
The manufacturer declines any responsibility for fires caused by poor maintenance of the
grease filters.
6.3
For better performances of some cooker hoods with plasma
filter in addition to the metallic grease filters you can also find
some spongy filters set which are increasing the odour
reduction efficiency.
The spongy filter set is composed of a high quality foam which
you can regenerate by washing.
It is possible to wash the metallic grease filter and the spongy filter in the dishwasher at max 65° C
(the colour of the filtering material can have a slight change) with dishwashing detergent available
on the market.
The metallic grease filter and the spongy filter can also be handwashed with a dishwashing
detergernt:
It is advised to do this cleaning operation at least once a week.
