approximately after terminating cooking.

MAINTENANCE
ATTENTION! Before performing any maintenance operation, isolate the hood
from the electrical supply by switching off at the connector and removing the
connector fuse.
Or if the appliance has been connected through a plug and socket, then the plug
must be removed from the socket.
Cleaning
The cooker hood should be cleaned regularly (at least with the same frequency
with which you carry out maintenance of the fat filters) internally and externally.
Clean using the cloth dampened with neutral liquid detergent. Do not use
abrasive products. DO NOT USE ALCOHOL!
WARNING: Failure to carry out the basic cleaning recommendations of the
cooker hood and replacement of the filters may cause fire risks.
Therefore, we recommend observing these instructions.
The manufacturer declines all responsibility for any damage to the motor or any
fire damage linked to inappropriate maintenance or failure to observe the above
safety recommendations.
Maintenance of the anti-grease filters
Traps cooking grease particles.
The grease filter must be cleaned once a month using non aggressive
detergents, either by hand or in the dishwasher, which must be set to a low
temperature and a short cycle. When washed in a dishwasher, the grease filter
may discolour slightly, but this does not affect its filtering capacity.
To remove the grease filter, pull the spring release handle.
Maintenance of the charcoal filter
It absorbs unpleasant odours caused by cooking.
The saturation of the charcoal filter occurs after more or less prolonged use,
depending on the type of cooking and the regularity of cleaning of the grease
filter. In any case it is necessary to replace the cartridge at least every four
mounths. The charcoal filter may NOT be washed or regenerated.
Note: 2 filters are needed in the models with 2 motors. The system of montage
and dismantling is identical.
Place the carbon filter in order to cover the protection grill for the motor fan
wheel, then turn the central handle P of the filter clockwise.
To dismount the central handle P of the filter turn the handle anti-clockwise.
Replacing lamps
Disconnect the hood from the electricity.
Warning! Prior to touching the light bulbs ensure they are cooled down.
Access the lamp housing area:
remove the lamp holder using a small screwdriver or similar tool as a lever.
Replace the damaged light bulb.
Use only 40W max (E14) olive shape light bulbs.
Then close the lamp housing (snap lock).
