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
dishwasher,	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 accordance with the instructions, the accumulated grease could, over time, become 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 corrosion resistance and the appearance of the stainless steel for many years.

•Clean the stainless steel as often as necessary (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 solution 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 dedicated stainless steel cleaner or baby oil to the canopy of the extractor hood to add lustre and sparkle to the steel.
