Range Hood Maintenance
SUCTION HOOD
What you should do
After starting the cooking, switch immediately the hood on, in order to prevent the motor from overheating and to increase its effectiveness against odours and vapour.
All hoods by Valcucine are provided with anodised aluminium filters, that are practical and safe; they can be washed with ordinary wash-up liquids and reused.
To keep them efficient they should be washed at least once every three months.
The outer front panel (made of aluminium, stainless steel) should be cleaned with a soft cloth soaked in a neutral, liquid detergent and doing horizontal movements.
What you should NOT do
Never leave the hood switched off while cooking.
Never clean the front panel with acid water scale-removers or containing caustic substances, such products to clean ovens, floors, dishwashers or sanitary ware.
Moreover, never use abrasive products, metal wool or the like that would scratch the surface
