To deactivate the carbon filter signal, repeat the entire procedure again.

Filters and 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.

Maintenance of the panel

Dismantling:

Extract with decision (LOWER SIDE) and rotate upwards.

Unscrew the knobs which fix the panel to the hood by using a coin and unhook it from the upper fastening points.

Cleaning:

The panel must be cleaned as often as the grease filter, wash by hand with non-abrasive detergents.

Do not wash in dishwasher. Use the drainpipes placed near the corners at the back to make the water left inside flow.

DO NOT USE ALCOHOL!

Montage:

Proceed in the reverse direction for dismantling.

Firmly screw in the fastening pawls by using a coin.

Attention! Always check that the panel is fixed in its place well.

Grease filters:

Metal filters are used to trap the greasy element of the vapours that develop during cooking.

The filter mats are made from noncombustible metal.

Caution:

As the filter becomes more and more saturated with grease, not only does the risk of it catching fire increase but the efficiency of the extractor hood can also be adversely affected.

Important:

By cleaning the metal grease filters at appropriate intervals, the possibility of them catching fire as a result of a build-up of heat such as occurs when deep-fat frying or roasting is taking place, is reduced.

Cleaning the metal grease filters:

These must be cleaned once a month (or when the filter saturation indication system – if envisaged on the model in possession – indicates this necessity). The filters can be cleaned in a dishwasher. It is however possible that they will become slightly discoloured. The filter must be placed loosely, and NOT wedged, in the dishwasher. Important: Metal filters that are saturated with grease should not be washed together with other dishes etc. When cleaning the filters by hand, soak them in hot soapy water first of all. Then brush the filters clean, rinse them thoroughly and leave the water to drain off.

Filters and maintenance

Removing and inserting the metal grease filters:

1. Remove the panels completely (see previous paragraph).
2. Press the catch on the grease filters inwards and fold the filters down.

Remove the grease filter carefully, making sure that it does not fall.

1. Clean the filters.
2. Insert the clean filters back into the hood.
3. Reinstall the panels.

Activated carbon filter:

For neutralizing odours in recirculating mode.

Caution:

As the filter becomes more and more saturated with grease, there is an increased risk of fire and the function of the extractor hood may be impaired.

1. Remove the panels completely (see previous paragraph).
2. Remove the metal filters (see "Removing and inserting the metal grease filters").

⚠️ Remove the grease filter carefully, making sure that it does not fall.

1. Install the carbon filter on the back of the grease filter and fix with two rods. Attention! The rods are included in the carbon filter packing and not on the hood.
2. Insert the grease filters (see removal and installation of the metal-mesh grease filters).
3. Reinstall the panels.

Removing the filter:

The filters are removed in reverse sequence.

Maintenance of the carbon filter:

The charcoal filter can be washed once every two months (or when the filter saturation indication system – if envisaged on the model in possession – indicates this necessity) using hot water and a suitable detergent, or in a dishwasher at 65°C (if the dishwasher is used, select the full cycle function and leave dishes out).

Eliminate excess water without damaging the filter, then put it in the oven for 10 minutes at 100°C to dry completely. Replace the mattress every 3 years and when the cloth is damaged.

The activated carbon filters are available from specialist outlets (see Optional accessories). Use only original filters. The appliance is then guaranteed to function perfectly.

Disposal of old activated carbon filters:

Activated carbon filters do NOT contain any harmful substances. They can therefore be disposed of as household waste.

Cleaning and care

Disconnect the extractor hood from the electricity supply by pulling out the mains plug or switching it off at the fuse box.

At the same time as you clean the grease filters, clean off any grease from all accessible parts of the housing. This significantly reduces the fire hazard and ensures that the extractor hood performs as effectively as possible. Use a hot detergent solution or a mild window cleaner to clean the canopy of the extractor hood. Do not scrape off any dirt that has dried on but loosen it up with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or sponges that could cause scratches. Note: Do not use alcohol (spirit) on plastic parts, otherwise the surface may become matt in appearance.

Caution: Ensure that the kitchen is adequately ventilated. Avoid naked flames!

Clean the sliding switch with a soft, damp cloth (mild detergent solution) only.

Do not use stainless steel polish on the sliding switch.

Stainless steel surfaces:

Use a mild non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner. Clean the surface in the same direction as it has been ground and polished.

Do not use any of the following to clean stainless steel surfaces: abrasive sponges, cleaning agents containing sand, soda, acid or chloride!

Aluminium and plastic surfaces:

Use a soft, non-linting window cloth or micro-fibre cloth. Do not use dry cloths. Use a mild window cleaning agent. Do not use aggressive, acidic or caustic cleaners. Do not use abrasive agents.

Replacing the light bulbs

Warning! Prior to touching the light bulbs ensure they are cooled down.

1. Switch off the extractor hood and pull out the mains plug or switch off the electricity supply at the fuse box.
2. Remove the lamp cover, use a flat bladed screw driver as a lever.

1. Replace the bulb (use only Halogenlamp max. 20 Watt - G4).
2. Attach the lamp cover again.
3. Plug the appliance into the mains or switch it on at the fuse box.
