disconnect the hood from the mains.
To ensure th a t yo u r ho o d wo r k s efficiently and

regularly cleaned (every ten days on average).
Cleaning the grease filters
The grease filter captures the greases from the
cooking fumes.
The filter is in layers of stretched aluminium.
The filter has a more or less unlimited life, but it must
be washed at regular intervals that may vary
according to the intensity of use, and in any case at
least once every 30 days, as well as whenever the
saturation indicator lights up.
When washed in a dish
washer, the grease filter
may discolour slightly,
but this does not affect
its filtering capacity.
• First remove the
perimeter suction panels
(f1).
Remove the metal
grease filters using the
handles designed for
this purpose by pulling
the filter backwards and
then downwards (f2-f3).
Let the metal grease filters dry before putting it back
into place.

months, and every time the saturation indicator
