FRIGIDAIRE FKS63R Instruction Manual

3.2 - Thin synthetic filter.
On certain models the metal grease filters are replaced with a lower grille panel containing a paper filter
with saturation indicators.
a - Cleaning:
The paper filter visible through the perforated metal grease filter tray cannot be washed and should
be replaced when the white areas between the violet dots turn brown.
b - Replacement:
To remove the filter for subsequent replacement first open the metal grille panel (Fig. 14a) to the
stop position. To remove the metal grille panel slide the right hand side of the panel forward until the
hinge pin comes away from the recess in the side casing (Fig. 14b). The filter is easily removed from
the grille by pushing the wire clips to one side and removing (Fig. 14c). Replace the filter making
sure that the saturation indicators face downwards. Replace by reversing the operation ensuring that
the lower grille is securely fastened to the side casing.
3.3 - Charcoal filter.
a - In the recycling mode the charcoal filter absorbs smells and odours. The charcoal filter cannot be
cleaned and should be replaced at least every 4 months or more frequently if the hood is used
consistently.
b - To replace the charcoal filter first remove the metal grease filters (or metal grille) and then unscrew the
two thumb screws located on each side of the charcoal filter.
3.4 - Worktop illumination.
A 15W flourescent strip lamp ensures the illumination of the worktop. To replace the strip lamp operate as
follows (Fig. 12):
a - Remove the plastic cover T near the control box. The glass strip is kept in its position by the retaining
lugs Z.
b - Move the glass strip towards the control box until the opposite end is free (arrow 1). Pull the glass
strip slightly down (arrow 2) and then move it back the opposite direction (arrow 3) until the glass
strip can be removed. The strip lamp can be removed by rotating the lamp a quarter turn. Replace by
reversing the operations. On certain models the illumination of the worktop is ensured by 2 lamps of
40 W (E 14).
3.5 - Cleaning.
The metal work, both inside and outside, should be cleaned regularly by using mild household detergents
or liquid soap. Care should be taken not to use abrasive cleaning materials, especially when cleaning
stainless steel surfaces.
