USE AND MAINTENANCE
•We recommend that the cooker 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 cooker hood depends on
constant maintenance; the anti-grease lter and the active
carbon lter both require special attention.
•Theanti-greaselter is responsible retaining the grease
particles suspended in the air, therefore it is subject to
clogging with variable frequency according to the use of the
appliance.
- To prevent the danger of possible res, at least every 2
months one must wash the anti-grease lters by hand using
non-abrasive neutral liquid detergents or in the dishwasher
at low temperatures and on short cycles.
- After a few washes, colour alterations may occur. This does
not give the right to claim their replacement.
•Theactivecarbonlters are used to purify the air that is
sent back into the room and its function s to mitigate the
unpleasant odours produced by cooking.
- The non-regenerable active carbon lters must be replaced
at least every 4 months. The saturation of the active charcoal
depends on the more or less prolonged use of the appliance,
on the type of kitchen and on the frequency with which anti-
grease lter is cleaned.
- Regenerable active charcoal lters must be washed by hand,
with non abrasive neutral detergents, or in the dishwasher at
a maximum temperature of 65°C (the washing cycle must be
complete without dishware). Remove excess water without
damaging the lter, remove the plastic parts, and let the mat
dry in the oven for at least 15 minutes approximately at a
maximum temperature of 100°C. To keep the regenerable
charcoal lter functioning ecient this operation must be
repeated every 2 months. These must be replaced at least
every 3 years or when the mat is damaged.
•Beforeremountingtheanti-greaseltersandtherege-
nerable active charcoal lters it is important that they are
completely dry.
•Clean the hood frequently, both internally and externally,
using a cloth dampened with denatured alcohol or neutral
liquid detergents that are non abrasive.
•The lighting .system is designed for use during cooking
and not for the prolonged general lighting of the room. The
prolonged use of the lighting system signicantly decreases
the average duration of the bulbs.
•If the appliance is equipped with courtesy lights it is possible
to use them for general room lighting for a prolonged amount
of time.
•Attention: The non compliance with the hood cleaning
warnings and with the replacement and cleaning of the lters
entails risk of res. One therefore recommends keeping to the
suggested instructions.
•Replacinghalogenlightbulbs(Fig.15.1):
To replace the halogen light bulbs B, remove the glass pane
C using a lever action on the relevant cracks.
Replace the bulbs with new ones of the same type.
Caution: Do not touch the light bulb with bare hands.
•ReplacingLEDlamps(Fig.15.2):
If the appliance version is with LED lamps, the intervention of
a specialised technician is necessary to replace them.
•CommandsLuminous (Fig.16)the key symbols are ex-
plained below:
A = LIGHT
B = OFF
C = SPEED I
D = SPEED II
E = SPEED III
F = AUTOMATIC STOP TIMER - 15 minutes (*)
If your appliance is equipped with the INTENSIVE speed
function, start from level THREE speed and keeping the button
E pressed for about 2 seconds, this function activates for
about 10 minutes after which it goes back to the previously
set speed.
When the function is active the LED ashes. To interrupt it
before the 10 minutes have expired press key E again.
By pressing key F for two seconds (with the hood switched
o) the “clean air” function is activated. This function switches
the appliance on for ten minutes every hour at the rst speed.
As soon as this function is activated the motor starts up at the
rst speed for ten minutes, During this time key F and key
C must ash at the same time. After ten minutes the motor
switches o and the LED of key F remains switched on with
a xed light until the motor starts up again at the rst speed
after fty minutes and keys F and C start to ash again for ten
minutes and so on. By pressing any key for the exclusion of
the hood light the hood will return immediately to its normal
functioning (e.g. if key D is pressed the “clean air” function is
deactivated and the motor moves to the 2nd speed straight
away. By pressing key B the function is deactivated).
(*) The “AUTOMATIC STOP TIMER” delays stopping of the
hood, which will continue functioning for 15 minutes at the
operating speed set at the time this function is activated.
•Anti-grease/activecharcoallterssaturation:
- When the A key ashes with a 2 second frequency the anti-
grease lters must be washed.
- When the A key ashes with a 0.5 second frequency the
active carbon lters must be replaced or washed depending
on the type of lter.
Once the clean lter has been put back one must reset the
electronic memory by pressing the A key for approximately
5 seconds until it stops ashing.
•Commands(Fig.17):
Push-button A = On/O lights switch.
Push-button B = Switches the motor on/O. The appliance
switches on at speed level 1, If the cooker hood is on depress
the push-button for 2 sec. to switch o the cooker hood.
If the cooker hood is at speed level 1 it will not be necessary
to depress the push-button to switch the cooker hood o.
Decreases the motor speed.
Display C = Indicates the motor speed level selected and
activates the timer.
Push-button D = Switches the motor on. Increases the motor
speed. Touching the key at 3rd speed, the intensive function
runs for 10’, then the appliance go back to work at the original
speed. During this function the display blinks.
Key E = The Timer times the functions on activation for
15 minutes, after which they are switched o. The Timer is
deactivated by re-pressing Key E. When the Timer is activated
the decimal point must ash on the display. The Timer cannot
be activated if the intensive speed is functioning.
