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.

supply by either removing the fuse,
unplugging it from the outlet or
manually "tripping" the circuit
breaker.
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.
^Glass surfaces can be cleaned using
glass cleaner.
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
16

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. Support the grease filter so that it
does not fall onto the cooktop.
Cleaning and care
17

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 filter 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 filter can be
placed on a towel to air dry.
^While the filter is removed, clean any
dirt or grease from the interior casing
to prevent the risk of fire.
^When putting the grease filter back
make sure that the locking clip is
facing the cooking surface.
^If the filter is incorrectly installed,
insert a small screwdriver into the slit
along its edge to disengage it from
the casing.
^After returning the grease filter, press
the grease filter button for 3 seconds
to reset the timer.
The indicator light will go out.
^If the grease filter is cleaned before
the grease filter timer has reached its
maximum, the grease filter button
should be pressed for 6 seconds to
reset the counter to zero.
Cleaning and care
18

Changing the light bulbs
Disconnect the exhaust hood from
the power supply by either shutting
off the main breaker or completely
removing the fuse.
When in use halogen bulbs become
extremely hot, and can burn your
hands. 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.
Please follow the manufacturer’s
instructions.
^To change the halogen bulb, first
gently press the light cover. The
cover will open and can now be
flipped down.
^Pull the halogen bulb from its socket,
then insert a new bulb.
^Flip the light cover back up, making
sure it clicks into place.
