5 - MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
EN
CAUTION
Before any maintenance or cleaning, disconnect the power
supply from the hood (Fig. 1 – Fig. 2 WARNINGS chapter).
5.1 CLEANING THE EXTRACTOR INDUCTION
HOB
Switch off the appliance before cleaning.
Do not clean the hob if the glass is too hot as there is a risk of
scalding.
Remove light stains with a damp cloth with dishwashing liquid
diluted in a little water. Then rinse with cold water and dry the
surface thoroughly.
Highly corrosive or abrasive detergents and cleaning equipment
that can cause scratches should absolutely be avoided.
Never use pressure or steam appliances.
Do not use objects that could scratch the ceramic glass.
Make sure that pots are dry and clean. Make sure there are no
specks of dust or anything else on the ceramic hob or pots. Rough
sliding pots will scratch the surface.
Spills of sugar, jam, jelly, etc. must be removed immediately. This
will prevent damage to the surface.
CAUTION
The following products must NOT be used:
Products containing chlorides, especially those containing
hydrochloric acid;
Halide based products;
Hydrogen peroxide based products;
Hypochlorous acid based bleaches;
Aggressive products containing acids;
Cleaners containing abrasive powder;
Silver cleaning products;
Detergents whose chemical composition is unknown;
Scouring pads, brushes or discs;
Rough cloths or rough paper;
Tools that have previously cleaned other metals or alloys.
Routine cleaning
Do not allow dirt to accumulate on the outer and inner surfaces of
the hood.
Follow the same instructions for the central glass flap as for cleaning
the induction hob.
CAUTION
The flap cannot be washed in a dishwasher.
Routine cleaning must be carried out before an excessive build-
up of dirt can cause abrasion.
Before washing, it is necessary to remove any dust particles by
blowing or vacuuming them, in order to avoid rubbing on the
surface.
Where water has been used for cleaning or rinsing, especially in
areas with a considerable presence of limescale, it is advisable to
26
dry the surface to prevent the appearance of stains.
To avoid contamination by iron particles, make sure that the tools
chosen for cleaning have not previously been used on other metals
or alloys.
Materials for cleaning stainless steel articles must be reserved
exclusively for this purpose.
Particular care must be paid to the grease filter, which has the
function of retaining the grease particles contained in the vapours,
and to the tray below, which has the function of collecting the
grease that could drip from the grease filter. Collect the condensate
or collect the liquids accidentally poured into it through the glass
flap.
Both of these elements must be washed with hot water and detergent
(also in a dishwasher) when the corresponding warning appears or
at least once a month.
The filter may become discoloured after a few washes. This is
normal and does not mean that it has lost its effectiveness.
To service the metal grease filter and the tray underneath, it is
essential to remove them from the hood.
To remove the metal grease filter and tray, proceed as shown
in Fig. 34: -> Push down the right side of the central glass flap.
• Remove the central glass flap (1).
• Grasp the metal filters by the knob and pull them off (2).
• Remove the condensate drip tray (3)

After doing these steps, you can clean all the components you have
just removed. After cleaning, the components must be dried and
finally replaced by performing the above steps (Fig. 31) in reverse
order.
The ceramic odour filter, if present, has the function of retaining
unpleasant cooking odours and must be regenerated when the
