Grease filter
The grease filter is fitted to absorb grease and dust during
cooking, to help keep the appliance clean inside.
Your cooker hood can be fitted either with an acrylic grease
filter or with multilayer metal filters.
The two types of filters require different maintenance
operations
Acrylic filter
The acrylic filter is fitted on the reverse side of the lower
inlet grille (Fig. 4). Gradually the filter becomes saturated with
grease and it must be replaced. This filter should be replaced
on average ever÷y 34 months, both to maintain a good
depuration capacity and to avoid that a heavy accumulation
of grease could cause a fire hazard.
To replace the filter remove the inlet grille, push the wire
clips to one side and the filter can be removed. Clean the
grille before replacing with a new filter. Ensure that the inlet
grille is completely dry before fitting the new filter and replacing
the retaining clips. Then refit the grille into the hood.
Metal filter
This type of filter (Fig.5) should be washed every 10 to 15
days (in normal operating conditions). Dip the filter into a de-
greases solution or put iit in the dish washer. Make sure not to
damage the filter, which is made of several layers of thin alloy,
by hitting or crushing it.
Ensure that the filters are completely dry before refitting
into the hood. When replacing the metal filters ensure that the
securing bolts will face downward.
Charcoal filter
In the recycling mode the charcoal filter absorbs cooking
smells and odours.
If your hood is fitted with the standard fan unit (Fig. 12)
only one filter is used.
If your hood is fitted with the centrifugal fan unit with two
rotors, two charcoal filters are to be fitted, one on each side
of the air inlets of the fan unit (Fig. 13).
The charcoal filter/s become/s progressively saturated and
will need replacing. A charcoal filter should be replaced at
least every four months or more frequently if the hood is used
consistently.
To replace the charcoal filter/s remove the inlet grille or the
metal filters. Disconnect the used charcoal filter from the motor
support by turning it anticlockwise and removing.
Insert a new filter ensuring that the three lugs on the
external ring of the filter coincide with the hooks on the motor
support. Press the filter firmly down and turn it clockwise until
it is fully locked to the motor support.
Note: when two charcoal filters are fitted, always ensure to
replace both filters at the same time. |
