Caring for your Cooker Hood

Before doing any cleaning or replacing the fil- ters or light bulb, always ensure that the elec- tricity supply to the Cooker Hood is switched ‘OFF’.

Filters and their replacement:

THE GREASE FILTER -

Your Cooker Hood is fitted with a grease filter which absorbs grease, dust etc. and helps to keep the appliance clean inside. Gradually the filter will become saturated and should be replaced every 2 months

IMPORTANT: There could be a possible fire hazard if the grease filter is not replaced when necessary and according to these instructions.

Replacement grease filters are available from your nearest retailer or our Genuine Parts and Accessories Mail Order Hotline (see back cover).

centre of the grille. The grille will be released and will fall down, pivoting to the rear (Fig.9). Remove the metal filter retainer by pulling gently, to release it from the slot in the casing.

5.Close the grille panel.

THE CARBON FILTER - (Recirculation only)

The activated carbon filter absorbs odours arising from the cooking. In use, the filter will slowly become saturated and gradually less effective. The filter will normally require changing every four months, depending on the amount and type of cooking you have done.

See page 5 (Figs. 1 and 2) to set your Cooker Hood to the recirculation option.

TO FIT THE CARBON FILTERS -

The deflector should be fixed to ensure the air flow is away from the wall to avoid dirtying or marking the rear wall (Fig.12) .

Regular replacement of the charcoal filter will ensure optimum performance from the hood when recirculating.
