4.2 Cleaning the appliance

NOTE: To keep the appliance surfaces in good condition, they should be cleaned regularly after use. Let them cool first.

How to preserve the exterior finish of your exclusive

SMEG – DOLCE&GABBANA appliance

Use only a soft, dry cloth for normal cleaning of the surfaces. In the case of persistent residues or to restore the original outer finish, moisten a soft cloth with water and pass it over the surface to be cleaned, letting it dry naturally.

For more persistent stains such as grease/oil and any food residues (fruit juice, coffee, tomato), remove them immediately with a soft cloth and water. If the stains are not removed, moisten a soft rag with a window cleaner. Gently rub the surface to be treated, covering an area larger than just the stain. Do not spray the detergent directly on the stain.

Do not use abrasive, corrosive or acidic detergents, scouring powders, stain removers, creams or specific products for cleaning steel, ovens or dishes. Do not use rough or abrasive cloths and sponges or scouring pads. The use of abrasive products could irreparably damage the surface of the product.

Metal filters cleaning

WARNING

- Before starting operations make sure the electrical power supply to the appliance is disconnected.

Special attention should be reserved to the metal grease filters. An excess of grease in the filter, as well as affecting the performance of the hood, can also be a fire risk. To avert fires, the filters must be cleaned regularly at least once a month or more frequently, in the case of a heavy use of the appliance.

Remove one filter at a time as shown in these pictures.

Wash the filters thoroughly with a non-bleach detergent, either by hand or machine. Re-assemble the filters, making sure that the handle faces the outside of the hood.

Replacing the optional carbon filters (for recirculated installation only)

WARNING

- Before starting operations make sure the electrical power supply to the appliance is disconnected.

The carbon filters are capable of retaining odors until the carbon reaches saturation level. They cannot be washed and they are not renewable, therefore, it is recommended to replace them at least every six months or more often if the hood is used often.

1. Access the active carbon filters by removing the metal filters as described above.

2. Tilt the two filters by 90^ as shown in (fig.A) and then extract them from their housing.

Replacement lamps

NOTE:

The lights, if damaged, must be repaired by Technical Service only.
