MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Constant maintenance ensures the correct operation and efficiency of the appli-
ance over time. Special attention should be paid to the metal grease-trapping
filters and the charcoal filters. Frequent cleaning of the filters and their supports
will ensure that fats and grease do not accumulate on the range hood, with the
consequent risk of fire.
1. METAL GREASE-TRAPPING FILTERS
These trap the fat and grease particles suspended in the air, and therefore
should be washed every month in hot water and detergent, without bending
them. Wait until they are completely dry before repositioning them.
To remove and replace these filters, see the instructions in point H1. This
operation should be performed at regular intervals.
2. CHARCOAL FILTERS
These trap the odours present in the stream of air that passes through them.
The air is purified by passing a number of times through the filters and
being recirculated into the kitchen. The charcoal filters cannot be cleaned,
and should be replaced on average every 3-4 months (according to use). To
replace the charcoal filters, see the instructions in point H2.
3. CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE APPLIANCE
It is advised to clean the external hood surfaces at least every 15 days in
order to avoid that oily or greasy substances affect the steel surfaces.
The ouside of the range hhod should be cleaned using a damp cloth and
neutral liquid detergent or denatured alcohol.
In case of fingerprint-less finish (fasteel) clean only with water and neutral
soap using clean with a soft cloth, rinse and wipe dry thoroughly. Do not
use products that contain abrasive substances, rough cloths or cloths spe-
cifically designed for cleaning steel. Using abrasive substances or rough
cloths will inevitably damage the finish of steel. The steel surface will be
irrevocably damaged if the instructions above are not complied with. Keep
these instructions together with the instructions for use of your hood.
The manufacturer accepts no liability for any damage caused by non-com-
pliance with the instructions above.
4. 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 disconnected the ap-
pliance from the mains power supply.
