• If the extractor fan is going to be used simultaneously

with equipment powered by a non-electric energy

source, e.g.: gas cookers, then the room must have

sufficient ventilation.

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.

are not fitted, e.g.: while they are being cleaned in the

dishwasher.

individual conditions of use. These filters cannot be washed nor regenerated. They must be

replaced once their useful life comes to an end.
