Part 2 - USE AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
3 - OPERATION
3.1 - Control is located on the right hand side of the front to operate worktop illumination
and select the most suitable working speed for your cooking. To increase the area of
extraction, the glass visor should be pulled open. The top speed should be used
when frying or cooking foods with strong odours, while a lower speed can be used
for normal cooking. To obtain the best performance from your hood, turn it on before
you start cooking and leave it running for a few minutes after your cooking is over to
clear the air.
3.2 - Pay attention to safety regulations 1. 7 and 1. 8 .
4 - MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Regular maintenance and cleaning will ensure good performance and reliability, while
extending the working-life of the hood. Special attention should be reserved to the
grease filter and to the charcoal filter (recycling mode).
4.1 - Grease filter
This retains the solid grease particles and can be supplied in different types. lt is
fitted onto the reverse side of the metal grille panel. Maintenance of the grease filter
varies according to the used type.
a) Whatever type of filters used, the filter is easily removed from the grille by pushing
the metal wire clips to one side and removing.
b) Thin synthetic filter (1 mm thick). It should not be washed and should be replaced
every two months. If the filter 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 filter.
b.2 - The red colour of the stripes, which is not visible through the metal grille when
the filter is clean, becomes visible from the outside of the metal grille.
c) Foam synthetic filter (approx. 10 mm thick).
It should be washed every two months in hot water using mild detergent and should
be squeezed dry, not wrung out. Replace after 5 or 6 washings.
d) Multi-layer metal filter. 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 filter not only
would affect the performance of the hood, but it is also a possible fire risk. We strongly
recommend therefore to clean and replace filters in accordance with the manufacturer
instructions.
