IMPORTANT: clean the filters at least monthly to remove any oil or grease residuals. GB13 MAINTENANCE Warning!Before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance operations disconnect the hood from the power supply by removing the plug from the socket, or switching the general house mains switch off. GREASE FILTER MAINTENANCE The filter traps all cooking grease particles. Wash the metal grease filter once a month (or when the filter dirty notification system indicates that the filter needs washing). The filter must be washed using a soft detergent. It may be hand washed, or placed in the dishwasher on a short low temperature cycle. Note: If washed in the dishwasher, the colour of the metal grease filter may fade. This will have no effect on its performance. 2 Remove the grease filter by rotating the knobs (g) that secure the filter to the hood 90°. To refit the grease filter follow the inverse procedure. CARBON FILTER MAINTENANCE The carbon filter traps unpleasant cooking smells. Differently from traditional carbon filters, this type of carbon filter may be cleaned and reactivated. With normal use of the hood, the filter should be washed once a month. The best way to wash the carbon filter is by placing it in the dishwasher at the highest temperature, using a standard dishwasher detergent. To avoid any food or dirt particle to get trapped in the filter during washing, causing bad smells after, we recommend that the filter is washed on its own. [. . . ] During cooking the system promptly reacts to any Steam/Gas increase, and remains at the set speed for at least 1 minute before returning to the lower speed or switching off. At the end of cooking, when the environmental conditions have returned to those before cooking, the system switches off: However, if the conditions are similar to the stand-by parameters, the hood will be switched off 30 minutes after, even if the stand-by parameters have not actually been reached. The "Air Quality Control" mode ("LD5" comes on) uses the hood as an air monitoring system, ensuring a high air quality level. The system promptly reacts to any Steam/Gas increase, and remains at the set speed for at least 1 minute before returning to the lower speed, or switching off. [. . . ]
