METAL FILTERS CLEANING: Special attention should be reserved to the metal grease filters. An excess of grease in the filter, as well as affecting the performance of the hood, can also be a fire risk. To avert fires, the filters must be cleaned regularly at least once a month or more frequently, in the case of a heavy use of the appliance. According to your hood's model, remove one filter at a time as shown in these pictures. Wash the filters thoroughly with a non-bleach detergent, either by hand or machine. Re-assemble the filters, making sure that the handle faces the outside of the hood CARBON FILTERS REPLACEMENT: (For recirculated version only) The carbon filters can only retain odours for a limited period of time. They cannot be washed, therefore, it is recommended they are replaced at least once every six months or more frequently in the case of a heavy use of the appliance. Before starting, make sure the hood is disconnected Fig.A from the mains supply. To reach the active carbon filters, it is necessary to remove the metal filters as shown above. Use the pictures to find the carbon filter kit of your hood. Round filter: simply rotate the filters 90 degrees as shown in fig. A and then remove them from their seats. Spring-held cartridge filter (fig. B): press enough to overcome the spring's resistance and remove the filter. Cartridge filter with bracket and threaded knob (fig. C): unscrew the knob, remove the blocking racket and then remove the active carbon filter. Fig.B Re-assemble the carbon and metal filters performing the above mentioned operations backwards. Note: only for the electronic controlled hood, reset the filters cleaning warning by pressing the Filter reset button. Fig.C EN 06
