The ventilation hood works by air
extraction. The air is drawn in and
cleaned by the grease filter and
directed outside.
The hood comes equipped with a
non-return flap. This flap automatically
closes when the hood is turned off so
that no exchange of outside air and
room air can occur. When the hood is
turned on, the air pressure of the
exhaust fan automatically opens the
flap blowing the inside air and cooking
odors outside.

Operation
15

Before cleaning or servicing the
hood, disconnect it from the power
supply by either removing the fuse,
unplugging it from the outlet, or
manually "tripping" the circuit
breaker.
Cleaning the casing
Warning: Never use abrasive
cleaners, scouring pads, steel wool
or caustic (oven) cleaners on the
hood. They will damage the surface.
^All external surfaces and controls can
be cleaned with warm water and
liquid dish soap applied with a soft
sponge.
^Wipe dry using a soft cloth.
Do not use too much water when
cleaning the controls. Water could
penetrate the electronics and cause
damage.
^Glass surfaces can be cleaned using
a glass cleaner.
Avoid:
–cleaning agents containing soda,
acids or chlorides,
–abrasive cleaning agents
e.g. powder or cream cleansers,
–abrasive sponges, e.g. pot scourers
or sponges which have been
previously used with abrasive
cleaning agents.
These will damage the surface.
Stainless steel
Stainless steel surfaces can be cleaned
using a non-abrasive stainless steel
cleaner.
To help prevent resoiling, a conditioner
for stainless steel can be applied.
Controls
These controls may become dis-
colored or damaged if not cleaned
regularly.
Do not use a stainless steel cleaner
on these controls.
Cleaning and Care
16

Grease filters
The reusable metal grease filters
remove solid particles from the vented
kitchen air (grease, dust, etc).
The grease filters should be cleaned
every3-4weeks or when the grease
filter indicator lights.
A dirty filter is a fire hazard.
^To remove the grease filters pull the
locking clips, 1, forward. Lower the
filter 45°, 2, unhook it at the rear, 3,
and take it out. Support the grease
filter so that it does not fall onto the
cooktop.
Cleaning the grease filter
^By hand: use a scrub brush with a
solution of warm water and mild
detergent.
Do not use the pure detergent,
aggressive all purpose cleaners,
oven sprays, abrasive cleaning
agents or limescale removers. They
could destroy the filter.
^In a dishwasher: place the filter
vertically in the lower basket, making
sure that the spray arm is not
blocked.
Use a hot temperature program,
e.g. "Heavy Soil" or "Pots and pans".
Use the recommended amount of
dishwasher detergent. Overuse could
destroy the filter.
Depending on the detergent,
cleaning the grease filters in a
dishwasher may cause permanent
discoloration of the filter surface.
Performance of the filter will not be
affected by this discoloration.
^After cleaning, the filters can be
placed on a towel to air dry.
^While the filters are removed, clean
any dirt or grease from the filter
casing to prevent the risk of fire.
When putting the grease filters back
make sure that the locking clips are
visibly facing the cooking surface.
If the filters are incorrectly installed,
insert a small screwdriver into the slit
along its edge to disengage it from the
casing.
^After returning the grease filters,
press and hold the grease filter
button for 3 seconds to reset the
timer. The indicator light will go out.
^If the grease filters are cleaned
before the grease filter timer has
reached its maximum, press the
grease filter button for 6 seconds to
reset the counter to zero.
Cleaning and Care
17

Changing the light bulb
Before changing the light bulbs,
disconnect the hood from the power
supply by either removing the fuse,
unplugging it, or manually "tripping"
the circuit breaker.
When in use halogen bulbs become
extremely hot, use caution. Do not
attempt to change the bulbs until
they have had sufficient time to cool.
Do not touch the bulb surface.
Fingerprints or body oils deposited
on the bulb will decrease its life.
Follow the bulb manufacturer’s
instructions.
^To change the halogen bulb first
remove the lamp cover, a.
^Pull the bulb, b, out of its socket and
replace with a new one.
^Now return the lamp cover, a.
Never use the lighting without the
lamp cover, a, in place. The glass
is specially made to filter harmful
light rays.
