USING THE HOOD Switch on the hood a few minutes before starting to cook and leave it running for at least 5 minutes after you have finished. Pull out the steam drawer (depending on model).

Close the steam-collecting drawer (where fitted). - 5 CARE AND MAINTENANCE Always disconnect the hood before cleaning or carrying out maintenance by unplugging it or switching off the power supply. The sponge grease filter should be washed in hot soapy water once a month (soak for 1-2 hours, do not wring, leave to dry and then remount. Replace with a new filter every 5-6 washes). • The grease filter paper should be replaced at least once a month. • Grease filter paper with saturation indicator should be replaced at least every two months or whenever the colour becomes visible through the holes of the grille. The paper filter is coloured on one side. This colour should not be visible through the grille holes when the filter is installed. • Metal grease filters should be washed once a month either by hand or in a dishwasher at a low temperature and in a short cycle. Leave filter to dry before remounting it. Washing in a dishwasher can cause grease filters to turn white, but this in no way affects efficiency.

Warning!If the hood does not have a carbon filter, order one and fit it before use. Check that the switch inside the hood (if fitted) is on position “F” Filter; if not, set it to this position. If the plug is provided, close off the upper exhaust hole.
