Maintenance 

ATTENTION! 

Before performing any maintenance operation, 

isolate the hood from the electrical supply by switching off at 
the connector and removing the connector fuse.  
Or if the appliance has been connected through a plug and 
socket, then the plug must be removed from the socket. 

Cleaning 

The cooker hood should be cleaned regularly (at least with the 
same frequency with which you carry out maintenance of the 
fat filters) internally and externally.  Clean using the cloth 
dampened with neutral liquid detergent. Do not use abrasive 
products. 

DO NOT USE ALCOHOL!

WARNING: 

Failure to carry out the basic cleaning 

recommendations of the cooker hood and replacement of the 
filters may cause fire risks.  
Therefore, we recommend observing these instructions. 
The manufacturer declines all responsibility for any damage to 
the motor or any fire damage linked to inappropriate 
maintenance or failure to observe the above safety 
recommendations. 

Grease filter 

Traps cooking grease particles. 

This must be cleaned once a month (or when the filter 
saturation indication system – if envisaged on the model in 
possession – indicates this necessity)  using non aggressive 
detergents, either by hand or in the dishwasher, which must 
be set to a low temperature and a short cycle. 
When washed in a dishwasher, the grease filter may discolour 
slightly, but this does not affect its filtering capacity. 
To remove the grease filter, pull the spring release handle.

Charcoal filter (filter version only) 

Fig. 29 
It absorbs unpleasant odours caused by cooking. 

The activated charcoal filter can be one of these types: 

• 

Washable activated charcoal filter. 

• 

NON-washable activated charcoal filter. 

Washable activated charcoal filter 

The charcoal filter can be washed once every two months (or 
when the filter saturation indication system – if envisaged on 
the model in possession – indicates this necessity)   using hot 
water and a suitable detergent, or in a dishwasher at 65°C (if 
the dishwasher is used, select the full cycle function and leave 
dishes out). 
Eliminate excess water without damaging the filter, then 
remove the mattress located inside the plastic frame and put it 
in the oven for 10 minutes at 100° C to dry completely. 
Replace the mattress every 3 years and when the cloth is 
damaged. 

NON-washable activated charcoal filter 

The saturation of the 

charcoal filter

 occurs after more or less 

prolonged use, depending on the type of cooking and the 
regularity of cleaning of the grease filter. 
In any case it is necessary to replace the cartridge at least 
every four mounths. 
The charcoal filter may NOT be washed or regenerated. 

Assembly 

Hook the charcoal filter at the back on the metal tongue of the 
hood first, then on the front with the two knobs. 

Disassembly 

Remove the charcoal filter by turning the knobs fixing it to the 
hood by 90°.
