Important - upon initial installation:

Selecting the hob type: to ensure accurate 

“reading” by the sensors, the latter must be calibrated 

to suit the type of hob as follows: with the hood OFF, 

press buttons 3 and 4 at the same time until either 

LED F for gas hobs, LED G for induction hobs or 

LED H for electric hobs lights up.

Automatic and manual sensor calibration: the 

hood automatically “calibrates” sensor operation, but 

under certain circumstances (e.g.: in the event of a 

prolonged power failure or upon initial installation) 

calibration can be carried out manually, with the hood 

OFF, by pressing buttons 5 and 6 at the same time for 

more than 3 seconds, otherwise you can wait until the 

hood carries out calibration automatically.

Maintenance

ALWAYS disconnect the hood from the mains before 

performing maintenance.

Wash the grease filter and the carbon filter in a 

dishwasher once a month, at the highest possible 

temperature, using normal dishwasher detergent. It is 

recommended to wash the filters on the their own.

After washing, reactivate the carbon filter by drying 

it in the oven at 100 °C for 10 minutes. Fit a new 

carbon filter every 3 years.

Remove the grease filters - Fig. 1: push the spring 

release handle backwards (f1) then remove the filter 

downwards (f2).

Clean the perimeter extraction panel 

(if provided) as often as the grease filter, using a 

cloth and a mild liquid detergent.

Never use abrasive substances.

Clean the sensor plate regularly. 

Replacing bulbs

1.

Use a small screwdriver or any other suitable tool 

to prise off (m-Fig. 1) the lamp cover (p-Fig.1).

2.

Remove the burnt-out bulb.

Use max 20 W halogen bulbs only, taking care not 

to touch them with your hands.

3.

Close the lighting unit (snap-on).

Fitting the carbon filter:

1.

Remove the grease filter (f1/f2 - Fig. 1).

2.

Remove the filter holder by turning the knobs 

(g - Fig. 2) through.

3.

Fit the carbon filter (i - Fig. 2) in the filter holder 

(h - Fig.2).

Reverse the above procedure to re-fit the filter holder 

and grease filter.
