3. Cleaning and maintenance
During cleaning and maintenance work, make
sure the safety instructions set out on page
14 are complied with.
3.1 Cleaning the Hood body
• Never use metallic scourers, nor abrasive or
corrosive products.
• Dry the kitchen hood using a cloth that does
not produce fibres.
3.2 Problem solving
To remove the filters from their fittings, press
lightly on the locks and then pull them off (fig.
3).
The metal filters can be cleaned by soaking them
in hot water with neutral detergent until
the fat dissolves and then rinsing them under
the tap or using special anti-grease products.
They can also be washed in a dishwasher. In
this case, it is advisable to stack them vertically
to avoid food residues to stick to them.
Cleaning in a dishwasher with aggressive
detergents or polish may damage the metallic
surface (blackening it), although this will not affect
its fat retention capacity.
Once clean, leave them to dry off and then fit
them onto the kitchen hood.
3.3 Changing the light bulbs
Proceed as follows:
• Remove the metal filters.
• Change the broken/burnt out lamp.
Maximum lamp power is 40W.
• Fit the metal filters.
Problem solving
Proceed with the following checks before calling Technical Services:
