WARNINGS - USE - MAINTENANCE
4- SAFETY USE
It is most important that all the warnings shown in paragraph 2 of the Installation Instructions are
strictly observed.
Moreover, special attention must be paid to the following warnings during the use and mainte-
nance of the cooker hood:
4.1 - The grease filters and the charcoal filters should be cleaned or replaced as recommended by the
manufacturer or more frequently if the hood is used consistently (more than 4 hours per day).
4.2 - When using a gas hob in connection with the cooker hood never leave the burners of the hob
uncovered while the hood is in use or when the pans have been removed. Switch off the gas be-
fore removing the pan or for just short periods and never leave the hob unattended.
4.3 - Always ensure that the appliance is kept at the correct intensity to prevent the flame from licking
round from the bottom of the pan; this will save energy and will avoid a dangerous concentration
of heat.
4.4 - Always ensure that the appliance is used in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions for
the removal of contaminated odours during cooking.
5 - USE
Control panel
The cooker hood can be operated as follows:
LIGHT SWITCH L = controls the worktop illumination;
MOTOR SWITCH M = controls the power to the motor and the fan speed:
Position 1 = low speed, should be selected when simmering or using only one pan: the noise
level is kept to the minimum.
Position 2 = medium speed, should be selected for normal cooking. This speed offers the best
ratio between air capacity and noise level.
Position 3 = top speed, should be selected when frying or cooking food with strong odours,
even for a long period.
6 - MAINTENANCE
Regular maintenance and cleaning will ensure good performance and reliability, while extend-
ing the working life of the hood. Special attentions should be paid to the grease filters and to
the charcoal filters when the hood is used in the recirculation mode.
6.1 - Metal grease filters
1 - Cleaning
The metal grease filter should be cleaned every two months with normal usage and can be
cleaned in a dishwasher or by hand using mild detergent or liquid soap.
2 - Replacement
The metal filters are easily removed, one at a time, applying a slight pressure towards the rear
of the hood while pulling downwards (fig. 6).
