GREASE FILTERS

The metal grease filter has an unlimited service life and must be washed once a month by hand or in a dishwasher at low temperatures on a short cycle. Cleaning in a dishwasher may cause discolouration of the grease filter, but its filtering efficiency is unaffected.

Open the extractor panel (turn upwards).

Please note: It is not necessary to remove the panel.

Pull out the handle to remove the filter.

Once the filter has been washed and left to dry, proceed in reverse order to refit the filter.

CARBON FILTER (for filtration models only)

This filter retains the unpleasant odours produced during cooking.

Replace the carbon filter every 4 months.

Fitting or replacing the carbon filter

1.Disconnect the hood from the mains.

2.Open and remove the extractor panel from its housing.

3.Remove the grease filters.

4.Fit one carbon filter on each side, covering both protective grilles for the motor impeller. Turn the filters clockwise to secure them to the central pins.

Proceed in reverse order to remove.

Refit the grease filters and extractor panel.

Maintenance of the condensation pan

The inspection window at the front of the condensation collection pan allows you to check if the pan is full, or being drained or cleaned.

In any event, the pan must be drained and cleaned AT LEAST once a week, or more frequently, based on the level of usage of the hood.

The pan can be cleaned by hand or in a dishwasher at low temperatures on a short cycle.
