Operation –
All cooker hood versions
Use the high suction speed in cases of concentrated kitchen
vapours. It is recommended that the cooker hood suction
is switched on for 5 minutes prior to cooking and to leave
in operation during cooking and for another 15 minutes
approximately after terminating cooking.
Maintenance
Prior to any maintenance operation ensure that the cooker
hood is disconnected from the power supply.
C l e a n i n g
The cooker hood should be cleaned regularly internally and
externally.
For cleaning use a cloth moistened with denatured alcohol
or neutral liquid detergents. Avoid abrasive detergents.
W a r n i n g :
Failure to carry out the basic standards of the cleaning of the
cooker hood and replacement of the filters may cause fire
risks.
Therefore we recommend oserving these instructions.
Grease filter
This must be cleaned once a month (and, for the model with
electronic control panel, every time LED 4 starts to flash –
see preceding page) using non aggressive detergents,
either by hand or in the dish-washer, which must be set to
a low temperature and a short cycle.
When washed in a dish-washer, the grease filter may
discolour slightly, but this does not affect its filtering capacity.
To remove the grease filter, pull the spring release handle
(f) - (Fig. 2).

Charcoal filter (filter version only)
It absorbs unpleasant odours caused by cooking.
The charcoal filter can be washed once every two months
(when using the hood 2,5 hours per day, in avarage and,
for the model with electronic control panel, every time LED
5 starts to flash – see preceding page) using hot water and
a suitable detergent, or in a dish-washer at 65°C (if the dish-
washer is used, select the full cycle function and leave
dishes out).
Eliminate excess water without damaging the filter, then
remove the mattress located inside the plastic frame and 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.
Remove the filter holder frame by turning the knobs (g) 90°
that affix the chimney to the cooker hood (Fig. 3).
Insert the pad (i) of activated carbon into the frame (h) and
fit the whole back into its housing (j).
Replacing lamps - Fig. 4
Access the light compartment
press on the lamp cover and release to open.
W a r n i n g !
Prior to touching the light bulbs ensure they are cooled down.
Replace the damaged light bulb.
Only use halogen bulbs of 20W max (G4), making sure you
do not touch them with your hands.
Close the lamp cover (it will snap shut).
If the lights do not work, make sure that the lamps are
fitted properly into their housings before you call for
technical assistance.
Caution
This appliance is designed to be operated by adults. Children
should not be allowed to tamper with the controls or play with
the appliance.
Do not use the cooker hood where the grill is not correctly
fixed! The suctioned air must not be conveyed in the same
channel used for fumes discharged by appliances powered
by other than electricity. The environment must always be
adequately aerated when the cooker hood and other
appliances powered by other than electricity are used at the
same time. Flambé cooking with a cooker hood is
prohibited. The use of a free flame is damaging to the filters
and may cause fire accidents, therefore free flame cooking
must be avoided. Frying of foods must be kept under close
control in order to avoid overheated oil catching fire. Carry
out fumes discharging in accordance with the regulations in
force by local laws for safety and technical restrictions.
