OPERATION
WHEN TO TURN ON THE HOOD?
Switch on the hood at least one minute before starting to cook to direct
fumes and vapours towards the suction surface.
After cooking, leave the hood operating until complete extraction of all
vapours and odours. By means of the Timer function, it is possible to set
auto switch-off function which will allow the hood to turn off automat-
ically after 15 minutes of operation.
WHICH SPEED IS TO BE SELECTED?
1st speed: maintains the circulation of clean air with low electricity
consumption.
2nd speed: normal conditions of use.
3rd speed: presence of strong odours and vapours.
4th speed: rapid disposal of odours and vapours.
WHEN SHOULD THE FILTERS BE WASHED OR REPLACED?
The metal filters must be cleaned every 30 hours of operation.
The active carbon filters must be replaced every 3-4 months, depend-
ing on the use of the hood.
For further details see the "MAINTENANCE" chap.

MAINTENANCE
Before cleaning or carrying out maintenance operations,
disconnect the equipment by removing the plug or
switching off the main switch.
Do not use detergents containing abrasive, acidic or corrosive
substances or abrasive cloths.
Regular maintenance guarantees proper operation and performance
over time.
Special attention is to be paid to the metal anti-grease filters : fre-
quent cleaning of the filters and their supports ensures that no flamma-
ble grease is accumulated.
CLEANING OF EXTERNAL SURFACES
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 rec-
ommends using "Magic Steel" wipes.
Alternatively and for all the other types of surfaces, it can be cleaned
using a damp cloth, slightly moistened with mild, liquid detergent or
denatured alcohol.
Complete cleaning by rinsing well and drying with soft cloths.
Do not use too much moisture or water around the push
button control panel and lighting devices in order to pre-
vent humidity from reaching electronic parts.
The glass panels can only be cleaned with specific, 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 SURFACES
Do not clean electrical parts, or parts related to the motor
inside the hood, with liquids or solvents.
For the internal metal parts, see the previous paragraph.
METAL ANTI-GREASE FILTERS
It is advised to frequently wash the metal filters (at least once a
month) leaving them to soak in boiling water and cleaning solution 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 reas-
sembling them.
Washing in a dishwasher is permitted, however, it may cause the filter
material to darken: to reduce the possibility of this problem from hap-
pening, use low-temperature washes (55°C max.).
To extract and insert the metal anti-grease filters see the assembly in-
structions.
