USE AND MAINTENANCE
Before beginning any sort of cleaning or maintenance work, turn power off to the hood by turning the main
switch to 0 (OFF).
Changing the light bulbs
12V halogen G4 attachment: Use a screwdriver to unscrew the glass support ring (Fig. 5). Remove the glass and chan-
ge the light bulb with another identical.
Replace the protective glass and screw back the ring. The light bulbs can be purchased in any electrical supply shop.
Dichroic lamp G4 attachment: Use a screwdriver to remove and change the dichroic lamp with another identical (Fig.
6).
LED spotlight replacement should only be carried out by qualified technicians using only original spare parts.
Cleaning the metal filters:
The metal filters fitted in the hood should be washed every 2-3 months, depending on how much the hood is used,
using hot water and a liquid detergent that is not too aggressive.
The metal filters can be removed by the special handle, unhooking the front part of the filter and pulling it downwards
(Fig. 7)
Carbon filters
If the hood is used with an internal recycle filtering system, then active carbon filters must be used.
The active carbon in the filters traps the cooking smells. To remove and change the filters, refer to fig. 8.
POLYESTER carbon filters cannot be reused or washed and must be periodically changed (every 4 months if the hood
is used for 2 hours every day). Saturate filters could be a fire hazard.
Depending on the hood model, the carbon filters are round or rectangular.
LONG LIFE carbon filter can be cleaned and reactivated. The filter should be cleaned every other month if used nor-
mally. The filter is best cleaned in a dishwasher at the highest temperature using normal washer detergent. The filter
should be washed on its own to prevent particles of food from fastening in it and then causing an unpleasant smell
later on. To reactivate the carbon the filter should be dried in the oven. Chose upper/ lower heat and maximum 100 °
C and try the filter for 10 minutes. The filter must be changed when it no longer absorbs the cooking smells suffi-
ciently. (fig.9)
Cleaning the hood
The surfaces of the hood should be cleaned frequently, to avoid the risk of having to remove built up and encrusted
deposits and stains. For the painted or copper plated hoods just use a soft cloth with warm water and a neutral de-
tergent. Do not pour the detergent directly onto the hood or use powdery or abrasive products. For the stainless
steel hood, use special products and cloths for satin finish stainless steel (not abrasive, corrosive detergents or
detergents containing chloride), ensuring to clean in the same direction as the satin finish. Do not use aggressive
products, chemical solvents or derivatives of oil distillates that could leave oily traces which could cause oxidation
and polymerisation.
Condensation in the hood
Induction or glass ceramic hobs heat food up very quickly, creating cooking steam before the glass or steel surface
of the hood has heated up, which causes condensation on the hood that then drips. Another cause for condensation
could be that the fume pipe is not the size we recommend (see INSTALLATION). The steam that remains inside the
hood while it is cooling down condensates and drips. Therefore it is advisable to turn the hood on ten minutes before
starting to cook and when you have finished, leave it on so that all the fumes in the pipe are expelled.
Furthermore, it is important to clean the filters frequently and if they are worn they should be replaced (see CLEAN-
ING THE METAL FILTERS).
The manufacturer accepts no responsibility for damage to the surface of the hood due to failure to respect
these instructions.
