Maintenance ATTENTION! Before performing any maintenance operation, isolate the hood from the electrical supply by switching off at the connector and removing the connector fuse. Or if the appliance has been connected through a plug and socket, then the plug must be removed from the socket. Cleaning The cooker hood should be cleaned regularly (at least with the same frequency with which you carry out maintenance of the fat filters) internally and externally. Clean using the cloth dampened with neutral liquid detergent. Do not use abrasive products. DO NOT USE ALCOHOL! WARNING: Failure to carry out the basic cleaning recommendations of the cooker hood and replacement of the filters may cause fire risks. Therefore, we recommend observing these instructions. The manufacturer declines all responsibility for any damage to the motor or any fire damage linked to inappropriate maintenance or failure to observe the above safety recommendations. Grease filter Fig. 14-32 Traps cooking grease particles. This must be cleaned once a month (or when the filter saturation indication system - if envisaged on the model in possession - indicates this necessity) using non aggressive detergents, either by hand or in the dishwasher, which must be set to a low temperature and a short cycle. When washed in a dishwasher, the grease filter may discolour slightly, but this does not affect its filtering capacity. To remove the grease filter, pull the spring release handle. Assembly Hook the charcoal filter at the back on the metal tongue of the hood first, then on the front with the two knobs. Disassembly Remove the charcoal filter by turning the knobs fixing it to the hood by 90°. Replacing lamps Fig. 33 Disconnect the appliance from the electricity. Warning! Prior to touching the light bulbs ensure they are cooled down. Replace the old light bulb with the one of the same type as specified in the feature label or near the light lamp on the hood. 1. Using a flat head screwdriver or equivalent tool, carefully pry loose the light cover. 2. Remove the damaged light and replace with a new 12 Volt, 20 Watt (Maximum) halogen light made for a G-4 base SUITABLE FOR USE IN OPEN LUMINAIRES. Follow package directions and do not touch new light with bare hands. 3. Reinstall the light cover. (it will snap shut). If the lights do not work, make sure that the lamps are fitted properly into their housings before you call for technical assistance. Charcoal filter (filter version only) Fig. 31 It absorbs unpleasant odours caused by cooking. The activated charcoal filter can be one of these types: • Washable activated charcoal filter. • NON-washable activated charcoal filter. Washable activated charcoal filter The charcoal filter can be washed once every two months using hot water and a suitable detergent, or in a dishwasher at 65°C (if the dishwasher is used, select the full cycle function and leave dishes out). Eliminate excess water without damaging the filter, then remove the mattress located inside the plastic frame and put it in the oven for 10 minutes at 100° C to dry completely. Replace the mattress every 3 years and when the cloth is damaged. NON-washable activated charcoal filter The saturation of the charcoal filter occurs after more or less prolonged use, depending on the type of cooking and the regularity of cleaning of the grease filter. In any case it is necessary to replace the cartridge at least every four mounths. The charcoal filter may NOT be washed or regenerated. 16
