Use and Maintenance
It is advisable to switch the cooker hood on a few minutes before cooking starts and that it
be left on for about 15 minutes after cooking is completed to exhaust all the odours.
On the front of the hood there are:
1. Cooker hood On indicator light
2. On/off switch
3. 3 buttons to adjust the motor speed
4. An on/off switch for the light.
Good functioning of the hood depends on the regularity with which maintenance
operations are carried out, in particular the anti-grease filters and the activated charcoal
filter. The anti-grease filters have the function of holding back grease
particles suspended in the air, and are thus subject to clogging with time depending on the
frequency of use of the appliance.
Clean the filters every 2 months by carrying out the following operations:
- Remove the filters from the hood and wash them with warm soapy water.
- Rinse in lukewarm water and leave them to dry.
- The filters may also be washed in the dishwasher.
The aluminium panels may be subject to colour alterations after washing. This is natural
over time and will not affect the performance of the appliance.
If filters are not cleaned regularly, there may be a risk of them catching fire.
Frequently clean off any deposits on the fan and other surfaces, using warm soapy water.
