4 - MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Regular maintenance and cleaning will
ensure good performance and reliabi-
lity, while extending the working-life of
the hood. Special attention should be
reserved to the grease lter and to the
charcoal lter (recycling mode).
4.1 - Grease lter
This retains the solid grease particles
and can be supplied in different types.
lt is tted onto the reverse side of the
metal grille panel. Maintenance of the
grease lter varies according to the
used type.
a-Whatever type of lters used, the lter
is easily removed from the grille by
pushing the metal wire clips to one
side and removing.
b-Thin synthetic lter (1 mm thick). It
should not be washed and should be
replaced every two months. If the lter
is provided with a saturation indicator,
replace when:
b.1-The violet colour of the dots, which
are visible through the metal grille, is
spread over the whole surface of the
lter.
b.2-The red colour of the stripes, which
is not visible through the metal grille
when the lter is clean, becomes
visible from the outside of the metal
grille.
c-Multi-layer metal lter. It should be
washed once a month in hot water
using mild detergent or liquid soap.
It can be washed in a dish-washer. It
should not be bent and should be left
to drain dry.
WARNING: An excess of grease in the
lter not only would affect the perfor-
mance of the hood, but it is also a pos-
sible re risk. We strongly recommend
therefore to clean and replace lters
in accordance with the manufacturer
instructions.
MAINTENANCE
4.2 - Cleaning Metal self-
supporting Grease Filters
• The lters are washable and must be
cleaned at least every 2 months of
operation, or more
frequently for particularly heavy usage.
• Remove the lters one at a time by
pushing them towards the back of the
group and pulling down at the same
time.
• Wash the lters, taking care not to
bend them. Allow them to dry before
retting.
• When retting the lters, make sure
that the handle is visible on the out-
side.
4.3 - Charcoal lter
The charcoal lter is a chemical lter to
be used only when the hood is in the
recycling position. To replace the char-
coal lter, open the grille and remove the
thumb screw through the centre of the
charcoal lter. If the lter is of the inter-
locking type, turn the lter anticlockwise.
Replace by reversing the operation.
For a good performance replace the
charcoal lter on average every three
months.
4.4 - Worktop illumination
If a lamp fails to function at any time,
open the metal grille panel and check
that the lamp is fully screwed into the
holder. When changing the lamp, an
identical replacement must be tted to
ensure a safe working of the hood.
4.5 - Cleaning
The metal work should be cleaned
regularly, at least once a month, using
mild household cleaner and
polish. Never use abrasives. For all ope-
rations from point 4.1 to point 4.4 and in
particular for point 4.3,
pay special attention to the safety regu-
lation 1.9.
