disconnect the hood from the mains.
To ensure that your hood works efficiently and
constantly it is recommended that it should be
regularly cleaned (every ten days on average).

salted water (vegetables, shellfish, etc.)
To clean the outside of the hood, use cloth dampened
either with denaturated alcohol or an adequate
product found on the market.
Never use products containing abrasives.
Cleaning the grease filters
The grease filter captures the greases from the
cooking fumes.
The filter is in layers of stretched aluminium Its life is
nearly unlimited.
At more or less frequent intervals, according to the use
of the hood, in any case at last once every 30 days of
normal use, wash the filter in a dishwasher or in a
soapy water.
When washed in a dish washer, the grease filter may
discolour slightly, but this does not affect its filtering
capacity.
Remove the metal grease filters using the handles
designed for this purpose by pulling the handle
downwards (Diagram 6).
Let the metal grease filters dry without damaging it
before putting it back into place.
