[. . . ] If the supply cable is damaged it should be replaced by the manufacturer, the after-sales service or a suitably qualified person in order to avoid hazard. Once the kitchen hood has been installed, ensure that the mains cable to the network is not in contact with sharp metal edges. The fumes should not be extracted through pipes that are used to evacuate the fumes of gas (or another fuel) operated devices. [. . . ] Excessive fat accumulation in the kitchen hood and metal filters is a fire risk and may also cause dripping, therefore the inside of the kitchen hood and the metal filters must be cleaned at least once a month.

Cleaning the metal filters Cleaning the hood body Cleaning and maintenance 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. Proceed as follows: · Remove the metal filters. · Change the broken/burnt out lamp.
