Maintenance of CRISTALPLANT
®
DAILY
CARE
CRISTALPLANT
®
requires an easy and quick daily care.
It is enough to clea
CRISTALPLANT
®
using soap and
water or common detergents to remove most of the dirt
and stains that may be deposited on the surface. It is
particularly recommended to rinse the surface well and to
use gel or abrasive detergents with abrasive sponges like
“Scotch Brite©” as in attached sample; doing that way,
the original matt finish, distinguishing feature of
CRISTALPLANT
®
, will keep untouched.
HOW TO PREVENT FROM DAMAGES
The surface is generally strongly resistant against stains
and spots; nonetheless aggressive chemical products,
such as acetone, trichloroethylene, strong acids or bases
are not recommended. After long contact periods, several
substances like ink, cosmetics and dyes, may leave
colouring agents on
CRISTALPLANT
®
, surface; the
same may occur as for lit cigarettes; but all of that can be
removed following the recommendations reported below.
HOW TO REMOVE PERSISTENT STAINS,
SCRATCHES AND BURNING RINGS
CRISTALPLANT
®
is an homogeneous material in all its
thickness and depth, thus it can restore its surface
original beauty from aggressive agents, such as
scratches, burning rings from cigarettes and persistent
stains, simply by following these instructions: as for small
damages, use an abrasive Scotch Brite© (3M trademark)
sponge and a common abrasive detergent to restore the
surface. Rub superficially the damaged part down. If the
defect is still visible, rub again using very fine glass-
paper.
TO
USE:
Powder or cream detergents (like CIF©, VIM© or similar),
containing micro-granules with abrasive action on the
surface. Methylated spirits may be used only being wary
of rinsing well the surface.
NON TO USE:
Solvent agents like acetone or trichloroethylene, as well
as other aggressive chemical substances like strong
acids (muriatic acid…) or bases (caustic soda…).
Detergents for industrial use or others of unknown
aggressive action: in this case a test on a spot not in view
should be done before application. Very aggressive
substance generally used to clear sink pipes. Solvents
used in the painting industry.
Maintenance of the parts in glass, steel, plastic and all
materials other than CRISTALPLANT
®
For cleaning, use a cloth moistened with neutral liquid
detergent.
Avoid the use of abrasive products.
DO NOT USE
ALCOHOL!
Warning:
Failure to follow the rules of cleaning the unit and
replacing the filters may cause fire. It is therefore
recommended to follow these instructions.
We accept no responsibility for any damage to the motor or
fire damage linked to inappropriate maintenance or failure to
comply with the above mentioned warnings.
Grease filter -
Fig. 10-15
Traps cooking grease particles.
This must be cleaned once a month (or when the filter
saturation indication system – if envisaged on the model in
possession – indicates this necessity) using non aggressive
detergents, either by hand or in the dishwasher, which must
be set to a low temperature and a short cycle.
When washed in a dishwasher, the grease filter may discolor
slightly, but this does not affect its filtering capacity.
Charcoal filter (filter version only) -
Fig. 14
It absorbs unpleasant odors caused by cooking.
The charcoal filter can be washed once every two months
using hot water and a suitable detergent, or in a dishwasher at
65°C (if the dishwasher is used, select the full cycle function
and leave dishes out).
Eliminate excess water without damaging the filter, then 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.
•
Montage
Install the carbon filter on the back of the grease filter and
fix with 4 rods.
Attention!
The rods are included in the carbon filter
packing and not on the hood.
•
To dismantle the filter act in the reverse manner.
Replacing lamps
The hood is equipped with a lighting system based on LED
technology.
The LEDs guarantee an optimum lighting, a duration up to 10
times as long as the traditional lamps and allow to save 90%
electrical energy.
For replacement, contact the technical service.
