Part 2 - USE AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

3 - OPERATION

3.1 - Control is located on the right hand side of the front to operate worktop illumination

and select the most suitable working speed for your cooking. To increase the area of

extraction, the glass visor should be pulled open. The top speed should be used

when frying or cooking foods with strong odours, while a lower speed can be used

for normal cooking. To obtain the best performance from your hood, turn it on before

you start cooking and leave it running for a few minutes after your cooking is over to

clear the air.

3.2 - Pay attention to safety regulations 1. 7 and 1. 8 .

4 - MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Regular maintenance and cleaning will ensure good performance and reliability, while

extending the working-life of the hood. Special attention should be reserved to the

grease filter and to the charcoal filter (recycling mode).

4.1 - Grease filter

This retains the solid grease particles and can be supplied in different types. lt is

fitted onto the reverse side of the metal grille panel. Maintenance of the grease filter

varies according to the used type.

a) Whatever type of filters used, the filter is easily removed from the grille by pushing

the metal wire clips to one side and removing.

b) Thin synthetic filter (1 mm thick). It should not be washed and should be replaced

every two months. If the filter is provided with a saturation indicator, replace when:

b.1 - The violet colour of the dots, which are visible through the metal grille, is spread

over the whole surface of the filter.

b.2 - The red colour of the stripes, which is not visible through the metal grille when

the filter is clean, becomes visible from the outside of the metal grille.

c) Foam synthetic filter (approx. 10 mm thick).

It should be washed every two months in hot water using mild detergent and should

be squeezed dry, not wrung out. Replace after 5 or 6 washings.

d) Multi-layer metal filter. It should be washed once a month in hot water using mild

detergent or liquid soap. It can be washed in a dish-washer. It should not be bent

and should be left to drain dry. WARNING: An excess of grease in the filter not only

would affect the performance of the hood, but it is also a possible fire risk. We strongly

recommend therefore to clean and replace filters in accordance with the manufacturer

instructions.
