Maintenance and cleaning.

Important:

Before cleaning any part of the hood, switch the power off at the mains.

Cleaning the metal grease filters.

•In normal operation (1 to 2 hours daily), the metal grease filters must be cleaned every 8 to 10 weeks.

•The filters may washed in a dish- washer, however they may discolour slightly.

•When hand cleaning the filters, soak them in hot, soapy water to loosen the grease.

•Brush with a stiff nylon brush.

•Rinse clean and allow to air dry before re-fitting.

•If cleaning is not carried out in accor- dance with the instructions, the accu- mulated grease could, over time, be- come a fire risk.

General cleaning.

Stainless steel is not adversely affected by normal household use but because of its reputation for durability, it is sometimes assumed to be indestructible, and therefore subjected to misuse or even abuse. Care should be taken to avoid such ‘abnormal use’.

Cleaning materials.

Do use:

•A moist lint free soft cloth or synthetic sponge.

•Soap, or mild liquid detergent.

•A mild window cleaner.

•Diluted ammonia in warm water.

•A nylon bristle brush.

•Cleaners labelled “Suitable for stainless steel”.

Do not use:

•A steam cleaner.

•Acid, alcohol, soda, chloride or spirit based cleaners.

•Coarse abrasive cleaning powders.

•Metallic scourers, steel wool, metal scrapers, or plastic scouring pads.

•Wire brushes or emery paper.

•So called “silver cleaners”.

Cleaning procedure

•Frequent cleaning is recommended rather than an occasional aggressive clean.

•Routine cleaning will preserve the cor- rosion resistance and the appearance of the stainless steel for many years.

•Clean the stainless steel as often as nec- essary (i.e. when it is noticeably dull or dirty) and use the simplest cleaning method that will effectively do the job.

•Use clean water, or a mild detergent so- lution applied with a soft cloth or sponge. Rinse well and wipe dry.

•Always wipe in the direction of the brushed texture on the stainless steel.

•Periodically apply a fine film of dedi- cated stainless steel cleaner or baby oil to the canopy of the extractor hood to add lustre and sparkle to the steel.
