Operation
The cooker hood is provided with a key or pushbutton
control panel situated of the frontal part of the cooker
hood, depending on the basis of the cooker hood type in
possession. For proper operation consult the text below
and the relative illustration.
a. ON/OFF lighting
b. OFF motors
c. - d. - e. Minimum suction power (c.), medium (d.),
maximum (e.).
Use the high suction speed in cases of concentrated kitchen
vapours. It is recommended that the cooker hood suction is
switched on for 5 minutes prior to cooking and to leave in
operation during cooking and for another 15 minutes
approximately after terminating cooking.
Maintenance
ATTENTION! Before performing any maintenance operation,
isolate the hood from the electrical supply by switching off at
the connector and removing the connector fuse.
Or if the appliance has been connected through a plug and
socket, then the plug must be removed from the socket.
Cleaning
The cooker hood should be cleaned regularly (at least with the
same frequency with which you carry out maintenance of the
fat filters) internally and externally. Clean using the cloth
dampened with neutral liquid detergent. Do not use abrasive
products. DO NOT USE ALCOHOL!
WARNING: Failure to carry out the basic cleaning
recommendations of the cooker hood and replacement of the
filters may cause fire risks.
Therefore, we recommend observing these instructions.
The manufacturer declines all responsibility for any damage to
the motor or any fire damage linked to inappropriate
maintenance or failure to observe the above safety
recommendations.
Grease filter
Traps cooking grease particles.
The grease filter must be cleaned once a month using non
aggressive detergents, either by hand or in the dishwasher,
which must be set to a low temperature and a short cycle.
When washed in a dishwasher, the grease filter may discolour
slightly, but this does not affect its filtering capacity.
Remove the grease filter by pushing the handles O towards
the back, then rotate the filters N downwards.
Charcoal filter (filter version only)
It absorbs unpleasant odours caused by cooking.
The saturation of the charcoal filter occurs after more or less
prolonged use, depending on the type of cooking and the
regularity of cleaning of the grease filter.
In any case it is necessary to replace the cartridge at least
every four mounths.
The charcoal filter may NOT be washed or regenerated.
Carbon filter with central handle
Apply one on each side as cover to both the shield grids of the
motor impeller, then turn the P central handle of the filters
clockwise.
For the disassembly, turn the P central handle of each filter
counter-clockwise.
Replacing lamps
Disconnect the hood from the electricity.
Warning! Prior to touching the light bulbs ensure they are
cooled down.
Remove the grill.
Changed the damaged bulb using exclusively 40W max (E14)
olive bulbs.
Put the grill back.
If the lights do not work, make sure that the lamps are fitted
properly into their housings before you call for technical
assistance.
