Maintenance and care
• The hood must always be disconnected from the electricity
supply before beginning any maintenance work.
Cleaning the hood
• Clean the outside of the hood using a damp cloth and a mild deter-
gent.
• Never use corrosive, abrasive or flammable cleaning products.
• Never insert pointed objects in the motor’s protective grid.
• Only ever clean the switch panel and filter grille using a damp cloth
and mild detergents.
• It is extremely important to clean the unit and change the filters at
the recommended intervals. Failure to do so will cause grease
deposits to build up that could constitute a fire hazard.
Metal grease filter
• The purpose of the grease filters is to
absorb grease particles which form
during cooking and it must always be
used, either in the external ducted or
internal recycling function.
Attention: the metal grease filters must
be removed and washed, either by hand
or in the dishwasher, every four weeks.
Open the metal grease filter
• First, push the metal grease filter stop
backwards, then extract the filter,
pulling downwards. Fig. 3.
Hand washing
Soak grease filters for about one hour in hot water with a grease-
loosening cleaner, then rinse off thoroughly with hot water. Repeat
the process if necessary. Refit the grease filters when they are dry.
