use gel or abrasive detergents with abrasive sponges like
"Scotch Brite©" as in attached sample; doing that way,
the original matt finish, distinguishing feature of
®
CRISTALPLANT
, will keep untouched.
HOW TO PREVENT FROM DAMAGES
The surface is generally strongly resistant against stains
and spots; nonetheless aggressive chemical products,
such as acetone, trichloroethylene, strong acids or bases
are not recommended. After long contact periods, several
substances like ink, cosmetics and dyes, may leave
colouring agents on CRISTALPLANT
same may occur as for lit cigarettes; but all of that can be
removed following the recommendations reported below.
HOW
TO
REMOVE
SCRATCHES AND BURNING RINGS
®
CRISTALPLANT
is an homogeneous material in all its
thickness and depth, thus it can restore its surface
original beauty from aggressive agents, such as
scratches, burning rings from cigarettes and persistent
stains, simply by following these instructions: as for small
damages, use an abrasive Scotch Brite© (3M trademark)
sponge and a common abrasive detergent to restore the
surface. Rub superficially the damaged part down. If the
defect is still visible, rub again using very fine glass-
paper.
TO USE:
Powder or cream detergents (like CIF©, VIM© or similar),
containing micro-granules with abrasive action on the
surface. Methylated spirits may be used only being wary
of rinsing well the surface.
NON TO USE:
Solvent agents like acetone or trichloroethylene, as well
as other aggressive chemical substances like strong
acids (muriatic acid...) or bases (caustic soda...).
Detergents for industrial use or others of unknown
aggressive action: in this case a test on a spot not in view
should be done before application. Very aggressive
substance generally used to clear sink pipes. Solvents
used in the painting industry.
Maintenance of the parts in glass, steel, plastic and all
materials other than CRISTALPLANT
For cleaning, use a cloth moistened with neutral liquid
detergent.
Avoid the use of abrasive products. DO NOT USE
ALCOHOL!
Warning: Failure to follow the rules of cleaning the unit and
replacing the filters may cause fire. It is therefore
recommended to follow these instructions.
We accept no responsibility for any damage to the motor or

Grease filter
Fig. 20-22
Traps cooking grease particles.
This must be cleaned at least once a month (or when the filter
saturation indication system - envisaged on the model in
possession - indicates this necessity), using non-aggressive
detergents, in a dishwasher, which must be set to a low
temperature and a short cycle (Tmax: 70°C).
When washed in a dishwasher, metal parts may discolour
slightly.
The filter must be dried in an oven for one hour at a max
temperature of 100°C; if the filter is still moist, repeat the
operation.
Replace the filter at least every 2 years.
Charcoal filter (filter version only)
Fig. 19
It absorbs unpleasant odors caused by cooking.
The charcoal filter can be washed once every two months
using hot water and a suitable detergent, or in a dishwasher at
65°C (if the dishwasher is used, select the full cycle function
and leave dishes out).
Eliminate excess water without damaging the filter, then put it
in the oven for 10 minutes at 100° C to dry completely.
Replace the mattress every 3 years and when the cloth is
damaged.
Replacing lamps

Disconnect the appliance from the electricity.
The hood is equipped with a lighting system based on LED
technology.
The LEDs guarantee an optimum lighting, a duration up to 10
times as long as the traditional lamps and allow to save 90%
electrical energy.
To purchase spare LEDs, contact the technical assistance
service.
Caution! Do not stare at operating lamp. May be harmful to
the eyes.
