Maintenance and care, Cleaning the hood

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 solution of water and mild washing up liquid.

•Never use corrosive, abrasive or flammable cleaning products or products containing bleach.

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

•Only ever clean the switch panel and filter grill using a damp cloth and mild washing up liquid.

•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.

Warning

•Failure to observe the instructions on cleaning the unit and changing the filters will cause a fire hazard. You are therefore strongly recommended to follow these instructions.

•The manufacturer declines all responsibility for any damage to the motor or any fire damage linked to inappropriate maintenance or failure to observe the above safety recommendations.

Metal grease filter

Attention: the metal grease filters must be removed and washed, either by hand or in the dishwasher, every four weeks.

	Soak grease filters for about one hour in hot
	water with a grease-loosening cleaner, then
	rinse off thoroughly with hot water. Repeat the
	process if necessary. Refit the grease filters
	when they are dry.
	Dishwasher
	Place grease filters in the dishwasher. Select
	most powerful washing programme and highest
	temperature, at least 65°C. Repeat the process.
	Refit the grease filters when they are dry.
	When washing the metal grease filter in the
	dishwasher a slight discolouration of the filter
