Then plug it in again and try once more before contacting the Technical Assistance Service. Maintenance Prior to any maintenance operation ensure that the cooker hood is disconnected from the electrical outlet. cleaning The cooker hood should be cleaned regularly internally and externally. For cleaning use a cloth moistened with denatured alcohol or neutral liquid detergents. Warning: Failure to carry out the basic standards of the cleaning of the cooker hood and replacement of the filters may cause fire risks. Therefore we recommend oserving these instructions. Anti-grease Filter If situated inside the support grill, it may be one of the following types: Paper filter must be replaced once a month or if colouring appears on upper side, in such cases the colouring is evident through the grill openings. Sponge filter should be washed with hot soapy water once a month and replaced every 5 to 6 washes. Metallic filter must be cleaned once a month, with non abrasive detergents, by hand or in dishwasher on low temperature and short cycle. To obtain access to the grease filter J open the grill K via the hooks L and free the grill from the stoppers M. Some models are provided with a metal filter N without support grill, this filter should be washed as instructions noted for metallic filter above and is removed from its placing by pushing the handles O towards the back and sliding the filter N downwards. When washed in a dish-washer, the grease filter may discolour slightly, but this does not affect its filtering capacity. [. . . ] The environment must always be adequately aerated when the cooker hood and other appliances powered by other than electricity are used at the same time. flambé cooking with a cooker hood is prohibited. The use of a free flame is damaging to the filters and may cause fire accidents, therefore free flame cooking must be avoided. Frying of foods must be kept under close control in order to avoid overheated oil catching fire. [. . . ]
