USE AND MAINTENANCE
• We recommend that the cooker hood is switched
on before any food is cooked. We also recommend
that the appliance is left running for 15 minutes after
the food is cooked, in order to thoroughly eliminate
all contaminated air. The effective performance of
the cooker hood depends on constant maintenance;
the anti-grease filter and the active carbon filter both
require special attention.
• The anti-grease filter is responsible retaining the
grease particles suspended in the air, therefore it is
subject to clogging with variable frequency according
to the use of the appliance.
- To prevent the danger of possible fires, at least every 2
months one must wash the anti-grease filters by hand
using non-abrasive neutral liquid detergents or in the
dishwasher at low temperatures and on short cycles.
- After a few washes, colour alterations may occur. This
does not give the right to claim their replacement.
• The active carbon filters are used to purify the air
that is sent back into the room and its function is to
mitigate the unpleasant odours produced by cooking.
- The non-regenerable active carbon filters must be
replaced at least every 4 months. The saturation of the
active charcoal depends on the more or less prolonged
use of the appliance, on the type of kitchen and on the
frequency with which anti-grease filter is cleaned.
- Regenerable active charcoal filters must be washed
by hand, with non abrasive neutral detergents, or
in the dishwasher at a maximum temperature of
65°C (the washing cycle must be complete without
dishware). Remove excess water without damaging
the filter, remove the plastic parts, and let the mat
dry in the oven for at least 15 minutes approximately
at a maximum temperature of 100°C. To keep the
regenerable charcoal filter functioning efficient this
operation must be repeated every 2 months. These
must be replaced at least every 3 years or when the
mat is damaged.
• Before remounting the anti-grease filters and the
regenerable active charcoal filters it is important
that they are completely dry.
• Clean the hood frequently, both internally and
externally, using a cloth dampened with denatured
alcohol or neutral liquid detergents that are non
abrasive.
• The lighting .system is designed for use during
cooking and not for the prolonged general lighting
of the room. The prolonged use of the lighting system
significantly decreases the average duration of the
bulbs.
• If the appliance is equipped with courtesy lights it is
possible to use them for general room lighting for a
prolonged amount of time.
• Attention: the non compliance with the hood
cleaning warnings and with the replacement and
cleaning of the filters entails risk of fires. One therefore
recommends keeping to the suggested instructions.
• Replacing halogen light bulbs (Fig.18):
In order to replace the dichroic lamps, carefully remove
the lamp from the lamp holder with the help of a small
flat screwdriver or a similar tool.
PLEASE NOTE! In doing this operation, please take
care not to scratch the hood.
Replace the bulbs with new ones of the same type.
• Replacing halogen light bulbs (Fig.19):
To replace the halogen light bulbs B, remove the
glass pane
C using a lever action on the relevant cracks.
Replace the bulbs with new ones of the same type.
Caution: do not touch the light bulb with bare hands.
• Replacing LED lamps (Fig.20):
If the appliance version is with LED lamps, the inter-
vention of a specialised technician is necessary to
replace them.
• Bright Control (Fig.21) the key symbols are explained
below:
A = LIGHT
B = OFF
C = SPEED I
D = SPEED II
E = SPEED III
F = AUTOMATIC STOP TIMER - 15 minutes (*)
If your appliance has the INTENSIVE speed function,
from speed THREE, press key E for 2 seconds and it will
be activated for 6 minutes after which it will return to
the previously set speed. When the function is active
the LED flashes.
To interrupt it before the 6 minutes have elapsed, press
key E again. Some models allow activating this function
even with speed one and two.
By pressing key F for two seconds (with the hood
switched off) the "clean air" function is activated. This
function switches the appliance on for ten minutes
every hour at the first speed. As soon as this function
is activated the motor starts up at the first speed for
ten minutes. During this time key F and key C must
flash at the same time. After ten minutes the motor
switches off and the LED of key F remains switched on
with a fixed light until the motor starts up again at the
first speed after fifty minutes and keys F and C start to
flash again for ten minutes and so on. By pressing any
key for the exclusion of the hood light the hood will
return immediately to its normal functioning (e.g. if key
D is pressed the "clean air" function is deactivated and
the motor moves to the 2nd speed straight away. By
pressing key B the function is deactivated).
(*) The "AUTOMATIC STOP TIMER" delays stopping
of the hood, which will continue functioning for 15
minutes at the operating speed set at the time this
function is activated.
• Anti-grease/active charcoal filters saturation:
- When the A key flashes with a 2 second frequency
the anti-grease filters must be washed.
- When the A key flashes with a 0.5 second frequency
the active carbon filters must be replaced or washed
depending on the type of filter.
Once the clean filter has been put back one must reset
the electronic memory by pressing the A key for ap-
proximately 5 seconds until it stops flashing.
• Mechanical control (Fig.22) the key symbols are
explained below:
A = LIGHT
B = OFF
C = SPEED I
D = SPEED II
E = SPEED III
