Part 2 - USE AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS 3 - MAINTENANCE Regular maintenance will ensure good performance and extend the working life of the hood. Special attention should be taken to the grease filters and, for the filter hoods only, to the charcoal filters. 3.1 - Synthetic grease filters 1 - They cannot be washed and should be replaced every two months on average. If the filter is equipped with chemical indicators of saturation, replace it when the visible red-coloured dots show all over the surface. 2 - Replacement Open the grid panel, remove the steel-wire clips and replace the grease filter (fig. 13). Close the grid panel. 13 3.2 - Metal grease filters 1 - Cleaning These filters need to be washed with ordinary household detergent every 2 months maximum. Thanks to their reduced dimensions, they can also be washed in the dishwasher. 2 - Removing the filter Open the grid panel, remove the steel wire clips and the grease filter (fig. 13). Make sure that the filter is dry before replacing it, close the grid panel. WARNING : Respect replacement and maintenance schedules recommended in order to avoid fire hazards caused by over-saturated filters. 3.3 - Charcoal filters 1 - How they work Charcoal filters can absorb smells and odours until they are saturated. They cannot be washed or recycled and so they should be replaced at least every 4 months or more frequently if the hood is heavily used. 2 - Replacement: Open the grid panel, replace the charcoal filter by turning the locking handle anti-clockwise for removing and clockwise for replacing (fig. 14). Close the grid panel. 14 16
