Cleaning the metal filters:
The metal filters fitted in the hood should be washed every 2-3 months, depending on how much the hood is used,
using hot water and a liquid detergent that is not too aggressive.
The metal filters can be removed by the special handle, unhooking the front part of the filter and pulling it downwards
(Fig. 7)
Carbon filters
If the hood is used with an internal recycle filtering system, then active carbon filters must be used. The active car-
bon in the filters traps the cooking smells. To remove and change the filters, refer to fig. 8.
POLYESTER carbon filters cannot be reused or washed and must be periodically changed (every 4 months if the hood
is used for 2 hours every day). Saturate filters could be a fire hazard.
Depending on the hood model, the carbon filters are round or rectangular.
LONG LIFE carbon filter can be cleaned and reactivated. The filter should be cleaned every other month if used nor-
mally. The filter is best cleaned in a dishwasher at the highest temperature using normal washer detergent. The filter
should be washed on its own to prevent particles of food from fastening in it and then causing an unpleasant smell
later on. To reactivate the carbon the filter should be dried in the oven. Chose upper/ lower heat and maximum 100 °
C and try the filter for 10 minutes. The filter must be changed when it no longer absorbs the cooking smells suffi-
ciently. (fig.9)
Cleaning the hood
The surfaces of the hood should be cleaned frequently, to avoid the risk of having to remove built up and encrusted
deposits and stains.
For the painted or copper plated hoods just use a soft cloth with warm water and a neutral detergent. Do not pour the
detergent directly onto the hood or use powdery or abrasive products
For the stainless steel hood, use special products and cloths for satin finish stainless steel (not abrasive, corrosive
detergents or detergents containing chloride), ensuring to clean in the same direction as the satin finish.
Do not use aggressive products, chemical solvents or derivatives of oil distillates that could leave oily traces which
could cause oxidation and polymerisation.
Murano-Manta-Merak-Dubhe: when you use oil to cook the oil will run to the lowest part of the hood,
and this edge should be cleaned more often than normally.
The manufacturer accepts no responsibility for damage to the surface of the hood due to failure to
respect these instructions.
