Warning The battery should be replaced every year 

to guarantee the optimal range of the transmitter. 

To replace the exhausted battery, take the plastic 

lid off, remove the battery and replace it with a 

new one, observing the correct battery polarities. 

Used batteries should be discarded in special 

collection bins. 

Filter requires washing indicator: after 30 hours 

of use, all the buttons will light up to remind 

you that the grease filter should be cleaned.  

Follow the instructions for cleaning filters in 

this booklet.  Once the grease filters have been 

cleaned and replaced, reset by pressing the timer 

button (F).  Do not rely solely on this indicator.  

Generally, the grease filter should be washed on a 

regular basis to avoid grease filter fires. 

The blower should be turned on for approximately 5 

minutes before cooking in order to establish air 

currents upward through the hood. Use the low 

speeds for normal use and the higher speeds for 

strong odors and fumes. 

MAINTENANCE

The hood-fan should provide many years of trouble 

free service  provided it is maintained properly.  

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. 

Cleaning the Filter. 

Clean the grease filter either by carefully hand 

washing, (so as not to  damage the filter design) 

or, preferably in a dishwasher. Depending on use, 

the filters should be cleaned at least every two 

weeks in a dishwasher. 

Cleaning  the Hood. 

Cleaning of the internal parts should be done with 

a clean damp (not   excessively wet) cloth 

together with regular household detergent. The 

external stainless steel elements should be 

cleaned with a good quality foaming stainless 

steel cleaner. Read the manufacturers directions. 

Generally they recommend that the foam be sprayed 

onto a clean dry cloth and then applied to the 

stainless steel. Allow the foam to react on the 

surface for a few minutes and then wipe with a 

clean dry cloth.  

On the surfaces that are exposed directly to heat 

from the cooktop, it is advisable to clean these 

on a regular basis to avoid the marks from 

becoming baked on. 

Do not under any circumstances use an abrasive 

type cleaner as this will scratch and damage the 

stainless steel finish. Glass components should be 

cleaned with a product such as Windex.
