Maintenance
ATTENTION! Before performing any maintenance operation,
isolate the hood from the electrical supply by switching off at
the connector and removing the connector fuse.
Or if the appliance has been connected through a plug and
socket, then the plug must be removed from the socket.
Cleaning
The cooker hood should be cleaned regularly (at least with the
same frequency with which you carry out maintenance of the
fat filters) internally and externally. Clean using the cloth
dampened with neutral liquid detergent. Do not use abrasive
products. DO NOT USE ALCOHOL!
Warning:
Failure to carry out the basic cleaning recommendations of the
cooker hood and replacement of the filters may cause fire
risks.
Therefore, we recommend oserving these instructions.
The manufacturer declines all responsibility for any damage to
the motor or any fire damage linked to inappropriate
maintenance or failure to observe the above safety
recommendations.
Grease filter
Traps cooking grease particles.
This must be cleaned once a month using non aggressive
detergents, either by hand or in the dishwasher, which must
be set to a low temperature and a short cycle. When washed
in a dishwasher, the grease filter may discolour slightly, but
this does not affect its filtering capacity.
To remove the grease filter, pull the spring release handle.

Charcoal filter (filter version only)
It absorbs unpleasant odours caused by cooking.
The saturation of the activated charcoal occurs after more or
less prolonged use, depending on the type of cooking and the
regularity of cleaning of the grease filter.
In any case it is necessary to replace the cartridge at least
every four mounths.
The carbon filter may NOT be washed or regenerated.
It may be one of the following types:
Circular filter – 2 pieces – with and without central handle –

They are placed at the ends of the motor, therefore proceed
rotating the carbon filters (or the central handle – Fig. 3)
anticlockwise until they detach.
Rectangular type - Fig. 4:
These are fixed to the cooker-hood structure.You should
unwind the screws that keep the carbon filters to the cooker-
hood.
To re-esemble proceed using the reverse of the above
procedure.
Replacing lamps

Never use the hood without effectively mounted grating.!
The hood must NEVER be used as a support surface unless
specifically indicated.
The premises must be sufficiently ventilated, when the kitchen
hood is used together with other gas combustion devices or
other fuels.
The suctioned air must not be conveyed into a conduit used
for the disposal of the fumes generated by appliances that
combust gases or other fuels.
The flaming of foods beneath the hood itself is severely
prohibited.
The use of exposed flames is detrimental to the filters and
may cause a fire risk, and must therefore be avoided in all
circumstances.
Any frying must be done with care in order to make sure that
the oil does not overheat and burst into flames.
As regards the technical and safety measures to be adopted

instructions provided in this manual)..
Failure to follow the instructions as concerns hood and filter
cleaning will lead to the risk of fires.
Do not use or leave the hood without the lamp correctly
mounted because of the possible risk of electric shocks.
