3 Operating your appliance •• We recommend that the cooker hood is switched on before any food is cooked. We also recommend that the appliance is left running for 15 minutes after the food is cooked, in order to thoroughly eliminate all contaminated air. The effective performance of the cooker hood depends on constant maintenance; the anti-grease filter and the active carbon filter both require special attention. •• The anti-grease filter is responsible retaining the grease particles suspended in the air, therefore it is subject to clogging with variable frequency according to the use of the appliance. •• To prevent the danger of possible fires, at least every 2 months one must wash the anti-grease filters by hand using non-abrasive neutral liquid detergents or in the dishwasher at low temperatures and on short cycles. •• In the event that acrylic anti-grease filters are used, hand-wash every 2 months, using neutral non-abrasive liquid detergents and replace them after every 6 washes. •• After a few washes, color alterations may occur. This is normal and will not effect their performance. •• The active carbon filters are used to purify the air that is sent back into the room and its function is to remove the unpleasant odours produced by cooking. •• The non-regenerable active carbon filters must be replaced at least every 4 months. The saturation of the active charcoal depends on the use of the appliance, on the type of kitchen and on the frequency with which the antigrease filter is cleaned. •• Before remounting the anti-grease filters and the regenerable active charcoal filters it is important that they are completely dry. •• Clean the hood frequently, both internally and externally, using a cloth dampened with water or non-abrasive neutral liquid detergents. •• The lighting .system is designed for use during cooking and not for the prolonged general lighting of the room. The prolonged use of the lighting system significantly decreases the average duration of the bulbs. A The non-compliance with the hood cleaning warnings and with the replacement and cleaning of the filters entails risk of fires. One therefore recommends keeping to the suggested instructions.
