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
16

,Before cleaning or servicing the
hood, disconnect it from the power
supply by either unplugging it from
the outlet, manually "tripping" the
circuit breaker or removing the fuse.
Cleaning the casing
,Never use on the hood:
- cleaning agents containing soda,
acids, chlorides or thinners,
- abrasive cleaning agents
e.g. powder or cream cleansers,
- steel wool or abrasive sponges,
e.g. pot scourers or sponges which
have been previously used with
abrasive cleaning agents,
- limescale removers,
- caustic (oven) cleaners.
They will damage the surface.
^The exterior surfaces and controls
can be cleaned with warm water and
liquid dish soap applied with a soft
sponge.
^Wipe dry using a soft cloth.
Only use a slightly damp sponge
when cleaning the controls. Water
could penetrate into the electronics
and cause damage.
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 also be used.
Apply sparingly with even pressure.
Stainless steel colored 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
17

Grease filter
The reusable metal grease filter
removes solid particles from the vented
kitchen air (grease, dust, etc).
The grease filter should be cleaned
every3-4weeks or whenever the
grease filter indicator lights.
Keep the grease filter clean to
prevent a fire hazard.
Removing the grease filter
To remove the grease filter pull the
locking clip forward. Lower the filter 45°
unhook it at the rear and take it out.
