The hood must always be disconnected
from the mains power supply before
beginning any maintenance work.

Cleaning

• Warning: always disconnect the hood from

the mains power supply before cleaning it.
Never insert pointed objects in the motor’s
protective grid.

• Wash the outside surfaces using a delicate

detergent solution. Never use caustic deter-
gents or abrasive brushes or powders.

• Only ever clean the switch panel and filter

grille using a damp cloth and delicate deter-
gents.

• It is extremely important to clean the unit and

change the filters at the recommended inter-
vals. Failure to do so will cause grease depos-
its to build up that could constitute a fire
hazard.

Metal grease filter

• The purpose of the grease filters is to aspirate

grease particles which form during cooking
and it must always be used, either in the
external evacuation 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

• Pull the handles backwards to loosen the

filter. Fig.   4.
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 it are dry.
Dishwasher machine
Place grease filters in dish washer. Select
most powerful washing programme and
highest temperature, at least 65°C. Repeat the
process. Refit the grease filters when it are
dry.
When washing the metal grease filter in the
dishwasher a slight discoloration of the filter
can occur, this does not have any impact on
its performance.

• Clean the inner housing using a hot deter-

gent solution only (never use caustic deter-
gents, abrasive powders or brushes).
