MAINTENANCE
Regular maintenance and cleaning will ensure good performance and reliability, while extending the working life of the hood. Special attention should be paid to the grease filters and to the charcoal filters when the hood is used in the recirculation mode.

Metal grease filters
� Cleaning The metal grease filter should be cleaned every two months with normal usage and can be cleaned in a dishwasher or by hand using a mild detergent or liquid soap. � Replacement Remove the filters one at a time, pushing the handle towards the rear of the hood (fig.12). When replacing, ensure that the handle faces outwards.
Thin synthetic filter
On certain models the metal grease filters are replaced with a lower grille panel containing a paper grease filter with saturation indicators. � The paper filter visible through the perforated metal grille cannot be washed and should be replaced when the violet colour of the dots has spread over the whole surface and, in any case,not later than every 2 months. The manufacturer declines any liability for any injury or damage caused as a result of not following this instruction. � Replacement a) To remove the filter for subsequent replacement first open the metal grille panel (fig. 13a) by pressing back on the two slide catches towards the rear wall which will allow the grille panel to open and hinge downward from the rear. b) To remove the metal grille panel slide the right hand edge forward until the hinge pin comes away from the recess in the side casing as illustrated in fig 13b. c) The filter is easily removed from the grille by pushing the wire clips to one side and removing as illustrated in fig. 13c. d) Replace the filter ensuring that the saturation indicators face downwards. e) Replace the wire clips and metal grille panel by reversing the operation ensuring that the lower grille is securely fastened to the casing. ATTENTION - There could be a possible fire hazard if the filters are not replaced accordingto these instructions.
Charcoal filters
� Functioning In the recycling mode the charcoal filters absorb smells and odours. This hood is designed to be fitted with two charcoal filters on both sides of the fan unit. The charcoal filter cannot be washed and should be replaced at least every 4 months or more frequently if the hood is used consistently. � Replacement To remove the charcoal filters place on hand on one filter at a time and turn it toward the front part. The charcoal filter can now be removed. Always ensure to replace both filters at the same time (fig.14).
