Suggestions and
Recommendations
• Switch on the extractor fan a few minutes
before you start to cook (3 to 5 minutes)
in order to ensure that a steady air flow
has been established before cooking
fumes appear.
• Allow the extractor fan to run for several
minutes after you have finished cooking
(3 to 5 minutes) in order to expel all the
grease from the outlet duct. This prevents
the return of grease, smoke and smells.

Cleaning and Maintenance

BEFORE CARRYING OUT ANY CLEANING OR
MAINTENANCE OPERATION, ENSURE THAT
THE APPLIANCE IS DISCONNECTED FROM
THE MAINS SUPPLY.

Cleaning the filter

• Remove the filter by releasing its catches
(A).
• Take special care to prevent it from drop-
ping.
• The filter can be cleaned either in a dish-
washer (see note below) or by soaking it in
hot water to soften up the accumulated
greases. Special cleaning sprays can also
be used, taking care to protect non-meta-
llic parts.
• After cleaning, allow the filter to dry.
N.B.: Cleaning the filter in a dishwasher with
strong detergents may blacken its metal surfa-
ce without affecting its grease retention capa-
city.
Warning: Filters must be cleaned at least
once a month, depending on hood usage.
Grease will accumulate on the hood and in the
filters whenever you cook, regardless whether
or not the extractor fan is operating.

Cleaning the hood body

• It is recommended to use warm (approx.
40°C) soapy water and a damp cloth to cle-
an the hood body, paying special attention
to the slots on the extractor grille. After
washing, dry thoroughly using a cloth that
does not leave fibres.
Warning:
• Do not use metal scouring pads.
• Do not use abrasive products which could
damage the metal surface.
• Do not scrape with sharp objects such as
knives, scissors, etc.
