MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Before carrying out any maintenance or
cleaning isolate the cooker hood from the
mains supply.
The cooker hood must be kept clean, as
a build up of grease or fat can be a Ţ re
hazard.
External Cleaning
Wipe the cooker hood frequently with warm soapy
water using a mild detergent.
Never use scouring pads or abrasive
cleaners.
Never use excessive amounts of water
when cleaning particularly around the
control panel.
Metal Grease Filters
The grease Ţ lters absorb grease and dust during
cooking to help keep the cooker hood clean
inside.
Cleaning
The Ţ lters must be washed once every
month, using a normal household
detergent; their compact dimension
also enables them to be washed in a
dishwasher. Allow to dry completely
before replacing.
Removing and replacing the Ţ lters
Remove the Ţ lters one at a time, press
against the metal actuator to release
the spring catch as illustrated. When
replacing, ensure that the handles face
outwards.
Charcoal Filter
In the recirculation mode the charcoal Ţ lter
absorbs smells and unwanted odours.
The charcoal Ţ lter cannot be cleaned or
regenerated, and must be replaced approximately
every 4 months, or more frequently if the hood is
subjected to heavy usage.
Replacing the charcoal Ţ lter
First remove the metal grease Ţ lters.
Remove the saturated activated charcoal
Ţ lter by releasing the Ţ xing hooks as
illustrated.
