Maintenance and Care

The hood must always be disconnected from the electricity supply before beginning any maintenance work.

Cleaning the hood

Clean the outside of the hood using a damp cloth and a mild detergent.

Never use corrosive, abrasive or flammable cleaning products.

Never insert pointed objects in the motor’s protective grid.

Wash the outside surfaces using a delicate detergent solution. Never use caustic detergents or abrasive brushes or powders.

Only ever clean the control panel and filter grille using a damp cloth and delicate detergents.

It is extremely important to clean the unit and change the filters at the recommended intervals. Failure to do so will cause grease deposits to build up that could constitute a fire hazard.

Clean the inner housing using a hot detergent solution only (never use caustic detergents, abrasive powders or brushes).
