 MAINTENANCE

Before cleaning or carrying out maintenance operations, discon-
nect the equipment by removing the plug or switching off the 
main switch.

Do not use detergents containing abrasive, acidic or corrosive substances 
or abrasive cloths.

Regular maintenance guarantees proper operation and performance over time.
Special attention is to be paid to the 

metal anti-grease filters

 : frequent clean-

ing of the filters and their supports ensures that no flammable grease is accu-
mulated.

CLEANING OF EXTERNAL SURFACES

You are advised to clean the external surfaces of the hood a

t least once every 

15 days

 to prevent oily substances and grease from sticking to them. To clean 

the brushed stainless steel hood, the Manufacturer recommends using "Magic 
Steel" wipes.
Alternatively 

and for all the other types of surfaces

, it can be cleaned using a 

damp cloth, slightly moistened with mild, liquid detergent or denatured alcohol.
Complete cleaning by rinsing well and drying with soft cloths. 

Do not use too much moisture or water around the push button 
control panel and lighting devices in order to prevent humidity 
from reaching electronic parts.

The glass panels can only be cleaned with specific, non-corrosive or non-abra-
sive detergents using a soft cloth.
The Manufacturer declines all responsibility for failure to comply with these in-
structions.

CLEANING OF INTERNAL SURFACES

Do not clean electrical parts, or parts related to the motor inside 
the hood, with liquids or solvents.

For the internal metal parts, see the previous paragraph.

METAL ANTI-GREASE FILTERS

It is advised to 

frequently

 wash the metal filters (

at least once a month

) leaving 

them to soak in boiling water and cleaning solution for 1 hour, taking care not 
to bend them.
Do not use corrosive, acid or alkaline detergents.
Rinse them well and wait for them to be completely dry before reassembling 
them.
Washing in a dishwasher is permitted, however, it may cause the filter material to 
darken: to reduce the possibility of this problem from happening, use low-tem-
perature washes 131°F (55°C max.).
To extract and insert the metal anti-grease filters see the assembly instructions.

ACTIVE CARBON FILTERS

These filters retain the odours in the air that passes through them. The purified 
air is recirculated into the environment.
The active carbon filters must be replaced on average every 3-4 months under 
normal conditions of use.
See assembly instructions to replace the active carbon filters.

LIGHTING

The range hood is equipped with high efficiency, low consumption LED spot-
lights with an extremely long life-span under normal use conditions.
Should the LED spotlight need to be replaced, proceed as shown in the figure.
