 DISPOSAL AFTER END OF USEFUL LIFE

The crossed-out trash or refuse bin symbol on the appliance 

means that 

the product is WEEE

, i.e. 

“

Waste electrical and 

electronic equipment'', accordingly 

it must not be disposed 

of with regular unsorted waste

 (i.e. with ''mixed household waste''), 

but it must be disposed of separately so that it can undergo specific 
processing for its re-use, or a specific treatment, to remove and safely 
dispose of any substances that may be harmful to the environment and 
remove the raw materials that can be recycled. Proper disposal of these 
products contributes to saving valuable resources and avoid potential 
negative effects on personal health and the environment, which may 
be caused by inappropriate disposal of waste.
You are kindly asked to contact your local authorities for further infor-
mation regarding the designated waste collection points nearest to 
you. Penalties for improper disposal of such waste can be applied in 
compliance with national regulations.

INFORMATION ON DISPOSAL IN NON-EUROPEAN UNION COUN-
TRIES

The crossed-out trash or refuse bin symbol is only valid in the European 
Union: if you wish to dispose of this appliance in other countries, we 
suggest contacting your local authorities or dealer to find out what the

 MAINTENANCE

Before cleaning or carrying out maintenance operations, 
disconnect 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 

: fre-

quent cleaning of the filters and their supports ensures that no flamma-
ble grease is accumulated.

CLEANING OF EXTERNAL SURFACES

You are advised to clean the external surfaces of the hood 

at least once 

every 15 days

to prevent oily substances and grease from sticking to 

them. To clean the brushed stainless steel hood, the Manufacturer rec-
ommends 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 pre-
vent humidity from reaching electronic parts.

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

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 reas-
sembling them.
Washing in a dishwasher is permitted, however, it may cause the filter 
material to darken: to reduce the possibility of this problem from hap-
pening, use low-temperature washes (131°F / 55°C max.).
To extract and insert the metal anti-grease filters see the assembly in-
structions.

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.
