[. . . ] When used as an extractor unit, the hood must be fitted with a hose having preferably the same diameter as the outlet hole. Should there already be a pipe of diameter 125 mm that ducts to the outside through the walls or roof, it is possible to use the 150/125 mm reduction flange provided. in this case the hood will be slightly noisier. Attention: The hose is not supplied and must be purchased separately. [. . . ] Every time the cooker hood is used, check whether the L2 LED is lit. After cleaning or replacing the filters, switch on the cooker hood at any suction speed (power), then press and hold the knob for more than 3 seconds, until you hear a beep indicating that the reset procedure has been performed successfully. the L2 LED and the cooker hood both switch off. In some situations (for example, when the L2 LED is indicating that the grease filters and the carbon filter are saturated), the procedure described above must be repeated. 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. The purpose of the grease filters is to absorb grease particles which form during cooking and it must always be used, either in the external extraction or internal recycling function. Attention: the metal grease filters must be removed and washed, either by hand or in the dishwasher, every four weeks. To access the grease filter, first remove the front panels Extract which conceal the grease filter. Repeat the operation for all the small panels. Pull the handle downards, then extract the filter. Hand washing Soak grease filter(s) for about one hour in hot water with a greaseloosening cleaner, then rinse off thoroughly with hot water. Refit the grease filters when they are dry. dishwasher Place grease filters in the dishwasher. Select most powerful washing programme and highest temperature, at least 65°C. Refit the grease filters when they are dry. When washing the metal grease filter in the dishwasher a slight discolouration of the filter can occur, this does not have any impact on its performance. Clean the inner housing using a hot detergent solution only (never use caustic detergents, abrasive powders or brushes). After having re-installed the grease filter, remount the front panels following the instructions for removal in reverse. The charcoal filter should only be used if you want to use the hood in recirculation mode. To do this you will need an original charcoal filter (available from your local Service Force Centre). Cleaning/replacing the charcoal filter Unlike other carbon filters, the LONGLIFE carbon filter can be cleaned and reactivated. [. . . ] Only ever clean the switch panel and filter grill using a damp cloth and mild washing up liquid. Clean all the plastic parts with a soft cloth soaked in warm water and neutral soap. It is extremely important to clean the unit and change the filters at the recommended intervals. Failure to do so will cause grease deposits to build up that could constitute a fire hazard. [. . . ]
