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. Cleaning The cooker hood should be cleaned regularly (at least with the same frequency with which you carry out maintenance of the fat filters) internally and externally.
Charcoal Filter If the model is not vented to the outside, the air will be recirculated through disposable charcoal filters that help remove smoke and odors. The charcoal filters cannot be cleaned. They must be replaced. The charcoal filters are clipped inside of each metal grease filter. The charcoal filters should be replaced every 4-6 months (depending on hood usage). NOTE: DO NOT rinse, or put charcoal filters in an automatic dishwasher. NOTE: Charcoal filters are not included with the hood.
