4.1 Operation
• Controls are 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.
• Pay attention to safety regulations 1.7 and 1.8.
4.2 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).

4.2.1 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. 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 dishwasher.
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.
4.2.2 Cleaning Metal self-
supporting Grease Filters
• The filters are washable and must be cleaned at
least every 2 months of operation, or more fre-
quently for particularly heavy usage.
• Remove the filters one at a time by pushing
them towards the back of the group and pulling
down at the same time.
• Wash the filters, taking care not to bend them.
Allow them to dry before refitting.
• When refitting the filters, make sure that the
handle is visible on the outside.

4.2.3 Charcoal filter

The charcoal filter is a chemical filter to be used
only when the hood is in the recycling position.
To replace the charcoal filter, open the grille and
remove the thumb screw through the centre of
the charcoal filter. If the filter is of the interlocking
type, turn the filter anticlockwise. Replace by
reversing the operation. For a good performance
replace the charcoal filter on average every three
months.
4.4.5 Cleaning
The metal work should be cleaned regularly, at
least once a month, using mild household cleaner
and polish. Never use abrasives. For all operations
from point 4.1 to point 4.4 and in particular for
point 4.3, pay special attention to the safety
regulation 1.9.
