External Cleaning - FALMEC Atlas Manual De Instrucciones

MAINTENANCE
Before cleaning or carrying out maintenance operations, disconnect the equipment by removing the plug or switching off the
main switch.
Regular maintenance guarantees proper operation and good performance over time.
Special attention is to be paid to the metal anti-grease filters and active carbon filters. In fact, frequent cleaning of the filters and their supports
ensures that no grease is accumulated on the hood, which is dangerous and can cause fires.

EXTERNAL CLEANING

You are advised to clean the external surfaces of the hood at least once every 15 days to prevent oily substances and grease from sticking to them.
To clean the brushed stainless steel hood, the Manufacturer recommends using "Magic Steel" wipes. Alternatively, it can be cleaned using a damp
cloth, slightly moistened with neutral, liquid detergent or denatured alcohol. Finish off cleaning by rinsing well and drying with soft cloths.
Do not use too much water next to the push button control panel and lighting devices in order to prevent humidity from reach-
ing electronic parts. You must not use detergents containing abrasive, acid or corrosive substances or abrasive cloths: a direct
consequence of not complying with these warnings will result in irreversible deterioration of the hood's surface.
The glass panels can only be cleaned with specific, non-corrosive or non-abrasive detergents using a soft cloth.
The Manufacturer declines all responsibility for failure to comply with these instructions.
CLEANING OF INTERNAL PARTS
It is forbidden to clean electrical parts, or parts related to the motor inside the hood, with liquids or solvents.
Do not use abrasive products.
All these operations are to be carried out after having disconnected the equipment from the electrical mains power supply.
METAL ANTI-GREASE FILTERS
The metal anti-grease filters are there to contain suspended grease particles: deposited on the filters, these feed on any
flames released when cooking, generate unpleasant odours, and compromise the passage of air, thus reducing suction
performance of the hood. For this reason, it is advised to frequently wash the metal filters (at least once a month) leav-
ing them to soak in boiling water and dish washing liquid for 1 hour, taking care not to bend them. Do not use corrosive,
acid or alkaline detergents. Rinse them well and wait for them to be completely dry before reassembling them.
Washing in a dishwasher is permitted, however, it may cause the filter material to darken: to reduce the possibility of this
problem from happening, use low-temperature washes (55°C max.).
Use the handle to take out the metal anti-grease filters (see instructions
them.
ACTIVE CARBON FILTERS
Active carbon filters have the function of retaining odours in the air flow passing through them. The air, purified by running
many times through the filter, is recirculated into the kitchen.
Active carbon filters cannot be washed and are to be immediately replaced every 3-4 months (depending on the fre-
quency of use of the hood).
Dispose of the active carbon filters in compliance with the regulations in force in the country of use.
DISPOSAL AFTER END OF USEFUL LIFE
The crossed-out wheeled bin symbol on the appliance means that the product is WEEE, i.e. "waste electrical and electronic equipment", according-
ly it must not be thrown out with unsorted waste (i.e. with "mixed household waste"), but it must be disposed of separately so that it can undergo
specific operations for its re-use, or a specific treatment, to remove and safely dispose of any substances that may be harmful to the environment
and remove the raw materials that can be recycled. Correct disposal of this product contributes to saving precious resources and avoiding potential
negative effects on human health and the environment, which could be caused by inappropriate waste disposal. You are kindly asked to contact
your local authorities for further information regarding the designated waste collection points nearest to you. Penalties for improper disposal of such
waste can be applied in compliance with national regulations.
INFORMATION ON DISPOSAL IN EUROPEAN UNION COUNTRIES
