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 water
or non-abrasive neutral liquid detergents.
• 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
A
and with the replacement and
cleaning of the filters entails risk of
fires. One therefore recommends
keeping to the suggested
instructions.
