2. CARBON.ZEO COMBINED FILTERS
CARBON.ZEO filters do not require special maintenance. In normal use conditions, we
recommend regenerating them every 18 months and replacing them after 3 years. Be-
fore starting any operation, disconnect the range hood from the mains. To remove it see
paragraph F2. To regenerate the CARBON.ZEO filter (every 18 months); remove the fabric
mesh-holder lower frame (TPM) from the combined filter (see fig. H2) and put it in a normal
domestic oven at a temperature of 200°C for approximately 2 hours. Once the filter has
been cooled, re-install the fabric mesh-holder lower frame (TPM) on the hood, following
the inverse order of the procedure described in section F2.
Reconnect the range hood to the mains.

3. EXTERNAL CLEANING

We recommend cleaning the external surfaces of the range hoods at least every 15 days,
to prevent that oily or greasy substance can damage the range hood surfaces.
The hood must be carefully cleaned using a humid cloth with neutral liquid detergent or
denatured alcohol, in order to not damage the surfaces and active components of the
range hood.
Do not use products containing abrasive substances, rough cloths or cloths commonly
marketed for cleaning steel. Failure to comply with these indications will deteriorate ir-
reversibly the steel surfaces.
These indications must be stored together with the instructions booklet of the range hood.
The manufacturer declines any liability for failure to comply with these instructions.
4. CLEANING THE IONISED PIPES (qualified personnel only)
This extremely delicate operation must be performed by qualified personnel, as the ionised
pipes are powered at high voltage. In normal use conditions, we recommend performing
the operation every 18 months. Before starting any operation, disconnect the range hood
from the mains. Remove the CARBON-ZEO filters as described in paragraph F2. The ion-
ised pipes can now be accessed and removed and cleaned as described in the following
section (see fig. H4).
- Release spring M of the earthed metal sheath outside the pipe;
- Loosen the ionised pipes (TI) of the ionising chamber and remove the metal mesh;
- Carefully clean the pipe using a cloth with ethylic alcohol. Wash the external metal
sheath using water and soap and rinse it carefully.
- Ensure that the sheath is FULLY DRY (put it in the oven at 50°C for 10 min) and then place
it back in the pipes.
- Re-activate the pipes in the ionising chamber and re-hook spring M.
- Re-install the CARBON-ZEO filters by following the inverse operation described in sec-
tion F2.
- Reconnect the range hood to the mains.
After approximately 4 years of normal use, the efficiency of the ionising pipes can gradually
reduce. Therefore, we recommend replacing them after 5 years.

5. CLEANING THE INSIDE OF THE APPLIANCE

The electrical parts or parts of the motor assembly inside the range hood must not be
cleaned using liquids or solvents.
Do not use abrasive products. All the above operations must be performed after having dis-
connected the appliance from the mains power supply.
