•
•
connect the appliance back up to the electrical power mains.
MAINTENANCE
Before cleaning or carrying out maintenance operations, disconnect the equipment by removing the plug or switching off the main switch.
Regular maintenance guarantees proper operation and good performance over time.
Special attention is to be paid to the metal anti-grease filters and active carbon filters. In fact, frequent cleaning of the filters and their supports ensures that
no grease is accumulated on the hood, which is dangerous and can cause fires.
EXTERNAL CLEANING
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 recommends using "Magic Steel" wipes. Alternatively, it can be cleaned using a damp cloth, slightly moistened with
neutral, liquid detergent or denatured alcohol. Finish off cleaning by rinsing well and drying with soft cloths.
Do not use too much water next to the push button control panel and lighting devices in order to prevent humidity from reaching electronic
parts. You must not use detergents containing abrasive, acid or corrosive substances or abrasive cloths: a direct consequence of not complying
with these warnings will result in irreversible deterioration of the hood's surface.
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.
It is possible to remove the external suction panel completely in order to facilitate its cleaning (refer to the instructions
CLEANING OF INTERNAL PARTS
It is forbidden to clean electrical parts, or parts related to the motor inside the hood, with liquids or solvents.
Do not use abrasive products. All these operations are to be carried out after having disconnected the equipment from the electrical mains
power supply.
METAL ANTI-GREASE FILTERS
The metal anti-grease filters are there to contain suspended grease particles: deposited on the filters, these feed on any flames released
when cooking, generate unpleasant odours, and compromise the passage of air, thus reducing suction performance of the hood.
For this reason, it is advised to frequently wash the metal filters (at least once a month) leaving them to soak in boiling water and dish
washing liquid 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 reassembling them.
Washing in a dishwasher is permitted, however, it may cause the filter material to darken: to reduce the possibility of this problem from
happening, use low-temperature washes (55°C max.).
Open the external suction panel to remove the metal anti-grease filters (refer to the instructions
P
on page 9). Carry out operations in reverse order to insert them.
instructions
ACTIVE CARBON FILTERS
Active carbon filters have the function of retaining odours in the air flow passing through them. The air, purified by running many times
through the filter, is recirculated into the kitchen.
Active carbon filters cannot be washed and are to be immediately replaced every 3-4 months (depending on the frequency of use of
the hood).
Dispose of the active carbon filters in compliance with the regulations in force in the country of use.
To replace the active carbon filters, open the external suction panel (refer to the instructions
P
on page 9) and follow the instructions
