MAINTENANCE
• We recommend that the range 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 eective performance of the range
hood depends on constant maintenance;
the anti-grease lter and the active
carbon lter both require special
attention.
• The anti-grease lter is used to trap
any grease particles suspended in the
air, therefore is subject to saturation
(the time it takes for the lter to become
saturated depends on the way in which
the appliance is used). The grease lters
should be cleaned frequently. Use a
warm detergent solution. Grease lters
are a dishwasher safe.
- To prevent potential re hazards, the
anti-grease lters should be washed a
minimum of every 2 months (it is possible
to use the dishwasher for this task).
- After a few washes, the colour of the
lters may change. This does not mean
they have to be replaced.
If the replacement and washing
instructions are not followed, the anti-
grease lters may present a re hazard.
• Theactivecarbonlters are used to purify the air which is released back into the
room. The lters are not washable or re-usable and must be replaced at least once every
four months. The active carbon lter saturation level depends on the frequency with
which the appliance is used, the type of cooking performed and the regularity with
which the anti-grease lters are cleaned.
• Clean therange hoodfrequently, bothinside andoutside,usingacloth whichhas
been dampened with denatured alcohol or neutral, non-abrasive liquid detergents.
• Thelightontherangehoodisdesignedforuseduringcookingandnotforgeneral

• HoodCleaning:
Stainless steel is one of the easiest materilas to keep clean. Occasional care will help
preserve its ne appearance.
Cleaning tips:
- Hot water with soap or detergent is all that is usually needed.
