For washing by hand, use hot water and soap; this can be done by hand brushing vigorously
several times and then rinsing under the tap.
After washing, the grease filters should be dried and re-fitted correctly.
It is possible that after washing the filter will have slight change in the colour.
It is advised to wash the grease filters after circa 50-100 hours of use of the cooking
top.
If the grease filters are very dirty, the motor can only take in a small quantity of air, and
performance is reduced;
The grease which accumulates on dirty filters is easily inflammable and can cause fires, if they
are not removed by periodic washes.
The manufacturer declines any responsibility for fires caused by poor maintenance of the grease
filters.
Do not install or remove the grease filters with the engine running.
Never activate suction without fitted grease filters.
The Company declines all liability if the above warnings are dropped.
CLEANING
To preserve the hood in good condition, clean this periodically following the advice given as
follows.
Make sure that power has been completely turned off.
The detergent solution recommended is a combination of WATER and NEUTRAL LIQUID SOAP.
It is of vital importance that the liquid soap should not contain any grains which could scratch
the surface.
The solution should be applied first onto a soft cloth which is then rubbed over the shell. It is
important to follow the pattern of the satin finish with the cloth.
It is absolutely forbidden to pour liquids directly onto the hood.
The cloth used should not have any buttons, zips, fasteners or anything else which could scratch
the surface.
The use harsh abrasive or granular products, petrol, spirits or similar products which could
damage the surface of the materiall, is severely forbidden.
The manufacturer will not be responsible for any damages either functional or to the appearance
of the hood, caused by cleaning operations carried out using unsuitable products or unsuitable
methods.
During cleaning, do not overuse the keys in order to avoid accidental ignition.
IF YOU ENCOUNTER A PROBLEM
Disconnect the hood from the mains electricity supply and keep it disconnected for ca 1 minute,
then reconnect.
If the behaviour of the hood seems strange, read the procedure for resetting carbon and grease
filters concerning the kind of control in your hood. (see FUNCTION AND USE).
If the suction power has decreased, check that the grease filter cleaning intervals have been
respected.
