Care and Maintenance
IMPORTANT : DO NOT PERFORM MAINTENANCE OR CLEANING OF THE EXTRACTOR WITHOUT FIRST SWITCHING OFF THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY.
Cleaning
You should use a nonabrasive cleaner. Any abrasive cleaner (including Cif) will scratch the surface and could erase the control panel markings.
You can clean your extractor effectively by simply using a dilute solution of water and mild detergent and drying to a shine with a clean cloth.
Cleaning the grease filter
The grease filter should be kept clean to minimise the risk of fire.
When button A flashes every two seconds , or at least once a month you should remove and clean the grease filter with hot soapy water. You can also wash the grease filter in a dishwasher, ensuring that you place it in an upright position to prevent damage from other items in the dishwasher. After rinsing and drying, replace the filter. After the grease filter has been replaced, the electronic memory must be reset by pressing button A for approximately five seconds, until it stops flashing.
To remove the grease filter follow the steps below:
1.Push the cover panel to open the base of the extractor, as shown in fig 2.
2.Pull open the handle on the grease filter as shown in fig. 3. It will release at the handle side. Then lower the grease filter to remove it completely.
To replace the grease filter, repeat the steps in reverse.
Please note:
Cleaning the grease filter in the dishwasher may lead to discolouration. This is normal and does not constitute a fault with the appliance.
Changing the charcoal filter (re-circulating only)
When button A flashes every half second, the charcoal filters must be replaced. After the charcoal filter has been replaced, the electronic memory must be reset by pressing button A for approximately five seconds, until it stops flashing.
To attach a new charcoal filter, first open the body of the extractor and remove the grease filter as shown in figure s 2 and 3. Then offer up the charcoal filter into the frame as shown in figure 4 until it locks into place. Repeat with the other charcoal filter, then close the body of the extractor..
