OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
Maintenance
Regular maintenance and cleaning of the device
will ensure faultless operation, and help extend the
life of the unit. Attention should be paid to replacing
grease and carbon lters according to instructions.
Aluminium grease lter
Cleaning
To replace:
Dismantling of aluminium grease lter is shown on
Figure 5.
Acrylic lter is used in some models. This lter sho-
uld be replaced at least once every two months or
more frequently if the appliance is used intensively.
Charcoal lter (only the recirculation version)
Operation - Carbon lters can be used only when
the hood is not connected to any ventilation duct.
Filters with active carbon can absorb odours until
they are saturated. They cannot be washed or re-
generated and should be replaced at least every 2
months or more frequently in case of very intensive
use.
Replace:
Dismantling of charcoal lter is shown on Figure 6.
Lighting
See Figure 7 for details how to replace lights. Use
incandescent / halogen / LED modules of the same
specication as those factory-installed in the ap-
pliance.
Cleaning
Normal hood cleaning:
lDo not use a soaked cloth, sponge, or water
jet.
lDo not use solvents or alcohol, as they may
tarnish lacquered surfaces.
lDo not use caustic substances, especially for
cleaning stainless steel.
lDo not use a rough or abrasive cloth.
It is recommend to use a damp cloth and a neutral
detergent.
Aluminium lters may be washed in the dishwash-
er. The colour of aluminium lters may change after
several washings. This is normal and it is not nec-
essary to renew the lters.
Clean the lter when the display shows “ ” approxi-
mately every 2-3 weeks.
To clear the above symbol (once the lter is cleaned
and re-installed), hold the “ ” button for 3 seconds
(make sure the hood is not operating). “E” symbol
will be shown on the display and the appliance will
operate normally.
If you want to use your appliance while the “ ”
symbol is still displayed, press the “ ” button. The
speed indication will appear for 1 second, and then
the “ ” symbol and the motor will keep running.
NOTE: The “ ” symbol appears after 60 hours of
the motor operation.
Clean the grease lter by washing it in a dishwash-
er (maximum washing temperature of 60°C) or by
hand using a mild detergent or soap.
