Two achieve better extraction, we recommend

switching on the extractor a few minutes

before starting to cook (3 - 5 minutes) so that

the air flow is continuous and stable when

extracting the fumes.

Likewise, keep the extractor switched on for a

few minutes when cooking is complete to

allow all fumes and odours to be expelled.

Cleaning and maintenance

Before carrying out any cleaning or

maintenance activities, ensure that the

extractor is disconnected from the mains.

To carry out cleaning and maintenance, follow

the Safety Instructions.

To remove the filters from their locations

release the anchoring points. Clean the filter,

either by putting it in the dishwasher (see

notes) or leaving it standing in hot water to

simplify the removal of grease or, if wished, by

means of special sprays (protecting the non

metallic parts). Once clean, leave it to dry.

Notes: cleaning in the dishwasher with

aggressive detergents may darken the surface

of metallic parts, without this affecting its gas

retaining properties.

N.B. The filter must be cleaned at least once a

month depending on how often the extractor is

used. It must be remembered that grease

accumulates in the extractor when cooking,

whether it is switched on or not.

Cleaning of the extractor body

The use of warm (40ºC approx.) soapy water

is recommended. A cloth moistened in this

water is used for cleaning the extractor, paying

special attention to the grids. Afterwards, dry it

using a lint-free cloth.

* Never use metallic scouring pads or abrasive

products that could damage the surface.

* Do not use scrapers with metallic surfaces

such as knives, scissors etc.

lid, introduce the filter in the position provided

and reassemble the lid.
