Warning: always switch off the electricity supply before carrying out maintenance work on the hood. In the event of a fault, contact an official distributor or authorised dealer.

Cleaning the outside: use liquid, non-corrosive detergent and avoid using abrasive cleaning products and solvents. Do not use high-pressure or steam cleaning devices.

Important: increase the filter cleaning/replacement frequency if the hood is used for more than 2 hours a day. Always use genuine filters from the manufacturer.

Grease cleaning

To avoid fires, clean thoroughly once a month or whenever the display pilot light indicates as such. To do so, remove the filters and wash with hot water and detergent. If using a ishwasher (metal parts may turn black without this affecting their functional capacity), load the filters vertically to avoid solid residue from being deposited.
