8 MAINTENANCE
8.1 CLEANING OF GREASE FILTERS
The metallic grease filters are positioned on the bottom of the hood and are used to contain any
grease which is normally emitted in cooking fumes, thereby impeding the deterioration of the
motor.
For washing by hand, use hot water and soap; this can be done by hand brushing vigorously
several times and then rinsing under the tap.
After washing, the grease filters should be dried and re-fitted correctly.
It is possible that after washing the filter colour changes slightly.
In this paragraph guide lines are given, which should be complied with.
WARNING !
We recommend washing grease filters after 50-100 hours of use of the hob. If grease
filters are dirty, motor can take in just a small quantity of air and performance is reduced;
• The grease which accumulates on dirty filters is easily inflammable and CAN CAUSE
FIRES, if not eliminated by periodic washes.
The manufacturer declines any responsibility for fires caused by poor maintenance of
the grease filters.
8.2 CARBON FILTERS
The carbon filters at the suction outlet of the motor, are used to retain the odours of kitchen
fumes. It is not necessary to use carbon filters, if the hood is used for suction use.
The use of carbon filters is necessary if you use the hood as filtering.
WARNING:
WE RECOMMEND REPLACING CARBON FILTERS AFTER APPROX. 200-300 HOURS OF
USE OF THE HOB.
CARBON FILTERS CANNOT BE WASHED OR RE-CYCLED. THEY MUST BE REPLACED
WHEN THEY WEAR OUT.
Carbon Filters do not guarantee the interchange of oxygen in the air.
To ensure correct ventilation and air interchange in the kitchen, national and international
regulations exist, which should be respected.
The manufacturer denies any responsibility for fires caused by failure to replace the
carbon filters.
8.3 REPLACEMENT OF LAMPS
WARNING! Always replace the lamps with lamps which have the same electrical
characteristics (see TECHNICAL DATA). Before replacing the lamps, make sure that they are cold
and that power has been completely turned off.
The halogen lamps used can be adjustable or flat and fixed.
To replace a dicroic bulb with an adjustable lamp (FIG.12) proceed as follows:
• take out the circular spring in contact with the glass, grasping the edges;
• take out the faulty bulb and replace it with a new one;
• lift the lamp positioning it into its seat and re-insert the circular spring.
To replace a halogen lamp with a fixed lamp proceed as follows (see FIG.13):
• dismantle the lamp frame by means of a screwdriver, making sure that the glass does not fall;
• take the faulty lamp out;
• take a new lamp, avoid touching it directly with your fingers, i.e. wrap it in paper;
• insert the two gudgeons into the holes;
• mount back the lamp frame.
9 CLEANING
To preserve the hood in good condition, clean this periodically following the advice given as
follows.
WARNING! Make sure that power has been completely turned off.
The detergent solution recommended is a combination of WATER and NEUTRAL LIQUID
SOAP. It is of vital importance that the liquid soap should not contain any grains which could
scratch the surface.
The solution should be applied first onto a soft cloth which is then rubbed over the shell. It is
important to follow the pattern of the satin finish with the cloth (see FIG.14).
IT IS ABSOLUTELY FORBIDDEN TO POUR LIQUIDS DIRECTLY ONTO THE HOOD.
The cloth used should not have any buttons, zips, fasteners or anything else which could
scratch the surface.
The use of harsh abrasive or granular products, petrol, spirits or similar products which could
damage the surface of the materiall, is severely forbidden.
The manufacturer will not be responsible for any damages either functional or to the
appearance of the hood, caused by cleaning operations carried out using unsuitable products
or unsuitable methods.
