The minimum distance between the
supporting surface for the cooking
equipment on the hob and the lowest part
of the range hood must be not less than
65cm from electric cookers and 75cm from
gas or mixed cookers. If the instructions for
installation for the gas hob specify a greater
distance, this must be adhered to.
Warning! Installation and electrical
connection, may only be carried out by
authorised technicians.
4. MAINTENANCE
Warning! 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.
The cooker hood should be cleaned
regularly (at least with the same frequency
with which you carry out maintenance of the
fat fi lters) 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
fi lters may cause fi re risks. Therefore,
we recommend observing these
instructions.
The manufacturer declines all responsibility
for any damage to the motor or any
fi re damage linked to inappropriate
maintenance or failure to observe the above
safety recommendations.
4.1 Grease fi lter - This must be cleaned
once a month (or when the fi lter saturation
indication system – if envisaged on
the model in possession – indicates
this necessity) 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
fi lter may discolour slightly, but this does
not affect its fi ltering capacity.
4.2 Regenarable activated charcoal fi lter
To regenerate the charcoal fi lters, place
them into a baking oven preheated to
200°C.
The process will take one to two
hours, depending on the level of odor
contamination.
Caution: Avoid burning yourself!
• Do not under any circumstances
regenerate the active carbon filter in the
microwave.
• Do not under any circumstances use
the pyrolysis function of the oven for
the active carbon filter regenerate.
• Before regeneration, clean the active
carbon filter with a damp cloth.
Remove the active charcoal fi lters from the
baking oven only after they have had time
to cool down.
During the cooling down process
unpleasant odors may develop in the air for
a short period of time!
The frequency of charcoal fi lter honeycomb
element regeneration depends on the
intensity of your cooking operations.
We recommend to perform a regeneration
every 2-3 months. Additional cleaning of
