MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Constant maintenance ensures the correct operation and efficiency of the appliance over time. Special attention should be paid to the metal grease-trapping filters and the charcoal filters. Frequent cleaning of the filters and their supports will ensure that fats and grease do not accumulate on the range hood, with the consequent risk of fire.

1. METAL GREASE-TRAPPING FILTERS

These trap the fat and grease particles suspended in the air, and therefore should be washed every month in hot water and detergent, without bending them. Wait until they are completely dry before repositioning them.

To remove and replace these filters, see the instructions in point H1. This operation should be performed at regular intervals.

2. CHARCOAL FILTERS

These trap the odours present in the stream of air that passes through them. The air is purified by passing a number of times through the filters and being recirculated into the kitchen. The charcoal filters cannot be cleaned, and should be replaced on average every 3-4 months (according to use). To replace the charcoal filters, see the instructions in point H2.

3. CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE APPLIANCE

It is advised to clean the external hood surfaces at least every 15 days in order to avoid that oily or greasy substances affect the steel surfaces.

The aside of the range hood should be cleaned using a damp cloth and neutral liquid detergent or denatured alcohol.

In case of fingerprint-less finish (fasteel) clean only with water and neutral soap using clean with a soft cloth, rinse and wipe dry thoroughly. Do not use products that contain abrasive substances, rough cloths or cloths specifically designed for cleaning steel. Using abrasive substances or rough cloths will inevitably damage the finish of steel. The steel surface will be irrevocably damaged if the instructions above are not complied with.

Keep these instructions together with the instructions for use of your hood.

The manufacturer accepts no liability for any damage caused by non-compliance with the instructions above.

4. CLEANING THE INSIDE OF THE APPLIANCE

The electrical parts or parts of the motor assembly inside the range hood must not be cleaned using liquids or solvents.
