[. . . ] • The appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with any physical, sensory or mental impairment, or without experience and knowledge of the appliance, unless supervised or previously instructed in its use by those responsible for their safety. • Customer care: do not repair or replace any parts of the appliance, unless specifically recommended by the manual. All other maintenance operations must be carried out by a qualified technician. • When drilling through the wall pay attention not to damage electric connections and/or pipes: • Air vents must always discharge to the outside. [. . . ] If it is very dirty, add a few drops of washing up detergent to the water. Finish off with a dry cloth. IMPORTANT: do not use abrasive sponges or metallic scrapers or scourers. • Use detergents specifically designed for cleaning the appliance and follow the manufacturer instructions. 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). 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. 2 Remove the grease filter by rotating the knobs (g) that secure the filter to the hood 90°. 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. After washing, the carbon filter must be reactivated: place it in the oven at a temperature of 100°C for 10 minutes. The filter will keep its capacity to absorb smells for three years, after which time it must be replaced. Position the carbon filter pad around the grease filter, securing it using the appropriate securing devices.
