Installation

The installation instructions are defined on the images at the beginning of this user manual.
First, remove the protective foil from the back of the appliance and, following installation, remove the foil completely.

Instructions for use

By pressing the button shown in the figure 1, you will be able to control the functions of the extractor.
To achieve better extraction, we recommend switching on the extractor a few minutes before starting to cook (3 – 5 minutes) so that the air flow is continuous and stable when extracting the fumes.
Likewise, keep the extractor switched on for a few minutes when cooking is complete to allow all fumes and odours to be expelled.

Cleaning and maintenance

During cleaning and maintenance work, make sure the safety instructions are complied with.

Cleaning the hood body

If your kitchen hood is made of stainless steel, use proprietary cleaners mentioned in the product instructions.
If your kitchen hood is painted, use lukewarm water and a neutral soap.
Never use metallic scourers, nor abrasive or corrosive products.
Dry the kitchen hood using a cloth that does not produce fibres.
Do not use vapour cleaners

Cleaning the metal filter

To remove the filters from their fittings, press lightly on the locks and then pull them off.
The metal filters can be cleaned by soaking them in hot water with neutral detergent until the fat dissolves and then rinsing them under the tap or using special anti-grease products. They can also be washed in a dishwasher. In this case, it is advisable to stack them vertically to avoid food residues to stick to them.
Cleaning in a dishwasher may damage the metallic surface (blackening it), although this will not affect its fat retention capacity.
Once clean, leave them to dry off and then fit them onto the kitchen hood.
Remove the grease collector as described at the end of this manual. Clean it in the same way that filter.

Activated charcoal filter

To install the active carbon filter follow the instructions supplied with it.
The manufacturer reserves the right to make any corrections it deems necessary to its devices without damaging its essential characteristics.
It is possible that with the installation of carbon filters, a reduction in the extraction flow can be observed in the hood.
