degrees until they snap into place (Fig.10B), to replace them
perform the operation in reverse order.
- For the WASHABLE CIRCULAR regenerable active carbon
filters (Fig.10C), remove the pad and follow the instructions
in the USE AND MAINTENANCE paragraph, "regenerable active
carbon filters".
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 main-
tenance; 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 regen-
erable 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 LED lamps (Fig.11):
If the appliance version is with LED lamps, the intervention of
a specialised technician is necessary to replace them.
• Commands (Fig.12):
NOTE: with this command it is also possible to control the ap-
pliance using a remote control, to be requested as an accessory.
A Button = Switches the hood on/off. The equipment switches
on at the 1st speed.
B Button = Decreases motor speed.
C Display = Shows the selected motor speed and timer acti-
vation/intense speed/filter warning.
D Button = Increases motor speed.
Pressing the 4th speed button engages the intense function
for 6 minutes, then the equipment goes back to working at
the speed at which it was activated. During this function, the
number 4 flashes on the display.
- If you wish to deactivate the function before the 6 minutes,
press the B button.
Attention! Some models only work up to the 3rd speed and,
therefore, do not have the intense function.
E Button = Pressing this button activates the Timer function
even with any of the 1-2-3 speeds engaged (except the Intense
function speed). When the Timer function is active, the set
speed must flash on the display when the timer is activated.
After 15 minutes, at the end of the countdown, the hood
switches off (motor and any lights remain on).
If the intense speed is engaged, the Timer cannot be activated.
- If you wish to deactivate the function before the 15 minutes,
press the E button.
F Button = Switches the lights on/off.
• Anti-grease/active charcoal filters saturation:
- After 30 h of operation, when the C display flashes, alternating
the working speed with the letter F (i.e. 2 and F), this means
that you need to wash the anti grease filters.
- After 120 h of operation, when the C display flashes, alterna-
ting the working speed with the letters C/F (i.e. 2 and C/F), this
means that you need to wash or replace the charcoal filters.
- Once you have repositioned the clean filter, you need to reset
the electronic memory with the hood on, pressing the B button
for about 3 seconds.
After that time, the letter E appears on the display (reset
confirmed) and the hood switches off.
• Commands (Fig.13) mechanical the key symbols are
explained below:
A = LIGHT
B = OFF
C = SPEED I
D = SPEED II
E = SPEED III.
