CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
Regular maintenance ensures the correct operation and efficiency of the appliance over time. Special attention
should be paid to the metal grease-trapping filters and the charcoal filters. Frequent cleaning of the filters and
their supports will ensure that fats and grease do not accumulate on the range hood, with the consequent risk of
fire.
METAL GREASE-TRAPPING FILTERS
These filters trap the fat and grease particles suspended in the air, and therefore should be washed regularly.
Depending on the volume and style of cooking, cleaning frequency between once per week and once per month
is recommended. Metal filters should be cleaned in the dishwasher, but may also be washed by hand with hot
water and dish soap, taking care to avoid bending the metal mesh.
Before replacing the filters in the range hood, make sure they’re completely dry.
CHARCOAL FILTERS
These filters trap the odors present in the stream of air that passes through them. The air is purified by passing
a number of times through the filters and being recirculated into the kitchen. The charcoal filters cannot be
cleaned, and should be replaced on average every 3-4 months (according to use). For replacement filters, see
the “Acessories” section of www.FuturoFuturo.com.
CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE APPLIANCE
It is advised to clean the external hood surfaces at least every 15 days in order to avoid the buildup of grease
particles on the range hood surface.
Stainless steel range hoods can be cleaned with any non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner, including WD-40
(available from any local hardware or auto parts store).
FaSteel fingerprint-free steel should be cleaned ONLY with a soft cloth moistened with water (including a little
neutral soap if desired). Do NOT clean FaSteel-treated surfaces with WD-40 or stainless steel cleaner, as it will
cause undesirable appearance changes.
Glass panels and parts can be cleaned with soap+water, or Windex or similar non-abrasive glass cleaner.
CLEANING THE INSIDE OF THE APPLIANCE
If needed, the inside of the range hood may be cleaned after disconnecting the power supply (circuit breaker)
with a soft cloth moistened with warm water and neutral soap. Avoid touching any exposed electrical or
electronic parts, wipe all surfaces dry and ensure no moisture remains inside the range hood prior to
reconnecting the power supply.
HALOGEN SPOTLIGHT
To replace light bulbs in range hoods equipped with a square halogen light fixture:
1.) Check that the equipment is disconnected from the power supply.
2.) Press the side of the light fixture cover marked “PUSH” and swing panel open completely.
3.) Replace the light bulb and close the fixture. NOTE: if the fixture was not opened completely, it will
not lock.
Replacement light bulbs are available from local major hardware stores / lighting stores (ask for 12-
volt, 20-watt, type G4 halogen bulbs), or from the “Accessories” section of www.FuturoFuturo.com
Please note: halogen light bulbs should NEVER be handled with bare hands, since the moisture/oil will
significantly shorten the lifespan of the bulb or cause immediate failure. Use latex gloves, plastic wrap,
or paper towel to handle the new bulbs.
