•
Switch on the extractor fan a few minutes
before you start to cook (3 to 5 minutes)
in order to ensure that a steady air flow
has been established before cooking
fumes appear.
•
Allow the extractor fan to run for several
minutes after you have finished cooking
(3 to 5 minutes) in order to expel all the
grease from the outlet duct. This prevents
the return of grease, smoke and smells.
Suggestions and
Recommendations
6
BEFORE CARRYING OUT ANY CLEANING OR
MAINTENANCE OPERATION, ENSURE THAT
THE APPLIANCE IS DISCONNECTED FROM
THE MAINS SUPPLY.
•
Remove the filter by releasing its catches
(A).
•
Take special care to prevent it from drop-
ping.
•
The filter can be cleaned either in a dish-
washer (see note below) or by soaking it in
hot water to soften up the accumulated
greases. Special cleaning sprays can also
be used, taking care to protect non-meta-
llic parts.
•
After cleaning, allow the filter to dry.
N.B.:
Cleaning the filter in a dishwasher with
strong detergents may blacken its metal surfa-
ce without affecting its grease retention capa-
city.
Warning:
Filters must be cleaned at least
once a month, depending on hood usage.
Grease will accumulate on the hood and in the
filters whenever you cook, regardless whether
or not the extractor fan is operating.
•
It is recommended to use warm (approx.
40°C) soapy water and a damp cloth to cle-
an the hood body, paying special attention
to the slots on the extractor grille. After
washing, dry thoroughly using a cloth that
does not leave fibres.
Warning:
•
Do not use metal scouring pads.
•
Do not use abrasive products which could
damage the metal surface.
•
Do not scrape with sharp objects such as
knives, scissors, etc.
