3 - MAINTENANCE
Regular maintenance and cleaning will en-
sure good performance and reliabilty, while
extending the working life of the hood. Spe-
cial attention should be taken to ensure that
the grease filters and charcoal filters (when
thehoodisusedintherecirculationmode)are
cleaned and replaced as recommended.
3.1 - Thin synthetic filter
1- Cleaning:
This filter cannot be washed and should be
replaced every two months. If the filter is
provided with a saturation indicator, replace
when the violet colour of the dots which are
visible from the outside is spread over the
whole surface of the filter.
2 - Replacing:
The filter is located on the reverse side of the
metal grille. To replace it first open the grille
as illustrated in fig. 9 and then remove the
metal wire clips. Replace by reversing the
operations.
3.2 - Metal grease filters
1 - Cleaning
The metal grease filters replace the metal
grille completely and should be cleaned
every two months with normal usage. Their
compact dimensions allow them to be
cleaned in a dishwasher. Before replacing
the filters ensure that they are dry.
2- Removal of metal filter for cleaning
Remove one filter a time (2 filters are requi-
red for the cooker hood in 54 cm and 3 filters
for the hood in 72 cm) supporting them with
one hand. Apply slight inward pressure to the
actuators to release the securing bolts as
illustrated in fig. 11. When replacing the fil-
ters care should be taken that the securing
bolts face downwards.
3.3 - Charcoal filter
1- Working:
In the recycling mode the charcoal filter
absorbs smells and odours during cooking
until it reaches saturation point.
The charcoal filter cannot be cleaned and
should be replaced at least every 4 months or
more frequently if the hood is used consist-
ently.
2- Replacement:
a-To remove the charcoal filter first open the
lower grille or remove the metal filters as
instructed in paragraph 3.1 2a and 3.1 2b.
b - Remove the separating plate if your
cooker hood is in 54 cm and with metal
filters (fig. 12).
c - Remove the charcoal filter by pressing
inwardly on the two catches while pushing
the filter backwards and down as illustrated
in fig. 13.
d - The charcoal filter should be replaced by
reversing the operation.
3.4 - Worktop illumination
The hood may be fitted with a 15W fluor-
escent strip lamp or with two 40W lamps.
To replace them proceed as follows:
a - Remove one of the two plastic covers T
by loosening the fixing screw; the glass dif-
fuser is retained in position by the metal
retaining lug L (fig. 14);
b - Slide the diffuser towards the side where
the plastic cover Thas been removed until
the opposite end is free (arrow 1); Pull the
glass diffuser down slightly (arrow 2) and
then move it back in the opposite direction
until the lighting diffuser can be released
from the retaining lugs L (arrow 3) (fig.
15);
c - When replacing the fluorescent strip lamp
an identical replacement must be fitted ro-
tating it trough 90 degrees;
replace the lamps fitted in the lampholders
with identical replacements;
d - Refit the glass diffuser by reversing the
operations.
3.5 - Cleaning
The interior and exterior of the hood should
be cleaned regularly to keep it looking like
new. Clean using a damp cloth wrung out in
hot water and mild household detergent and
dry with a soft cloth.
Always use non abrasive cleaning materials
especially when cleaning stainless steel sur-
faces.
