MAINTENANCE
t
We recommend that the cooker hood is
switched on before any food is cooked.
We also recommend that the appliance is
left running for 15 minutes after the food
is cooked, in order to thoroughly eliminate
all contaminated air. The effective perfor-
mance of the cooker hood depends on
constant maintenance; the anti-grease
filter and the active carbon filter both
require special attention.

is used to trap
any grease particles suspended in the air,
therefore is subject to saturation (the time
it takes for the filter to become saturated
depends on the way in which the appli-
ance is used). The
grease filters
should be
cleaned frequently. Use a warm detergent solution. Grease filters are a dishwasher safe.
- To prevent potential fire hazards, the anti-grease filters should be washed a minimum
of every 2 months (it is possible to use the dishwasher for this task).
- After a few washes, the colour of the filters may change. This does not mean they have
to be replaced. If the replacement and washing instructions are not followed, the anti-
grease filters may present a fire hazard.

are used to purify the air which is released back into the room.
The filters are not washable or re-usable and must be replaced at least once every four
months. The active carbon filter saturation level depends on the frequency with which
the appliance is used, the type of cooking performed and the regularity with which the
anti-grease filters are cleaned.

Hood Cleaning:
Stainless steel is one of the easiest materilas to keep clean. Occasional care will help
preserve its fine appearance.
Cleaning tips:
- Hot water with soap or detergent is all that is usually needed.
- Follow all cleaningby rising with clear water. Wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth to avoid
water marks.
- For discolorations or deposit that persist, use a non-scratching household cleanser or
stainless steel polishing powder with a little water and a soft cloth.
- For stubborn cases, use a plastic scouring pad or soft bristle brush together with cleaser
and water. Rub lightly in direction of polishing lines or "grain" of the stainless finish. Avoid
using too much pressure wich may mar the surface.
-
DO NOT
allow deposit to remain for long periods of time.
