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 filters should be kept clean to minimise the risk of fire.
When the display flashes alternating the speed selected with the letter A, or at least once a month, you should remove and clean the grease filters with hot soapy water. You can also wash the grease filters 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 filters. After the grease filters has been replaced, the electronic memory must be reset by touching key A for approximately five seconds, until the letter A stops flashing.
To remove the grease filters follow the steps below:
1.Open the stainless steel cover panels by pulling them downward from the centre. They will hinge to the sides.
2.Pull open the handle on the grease filter as shown in fig 2. It will release at the handle side.
3.Then lower the grease filter to remove it completely.
To replace the grease filters, 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 the display flashes alternating the speed selected with the letter F, the charcoal filters must be replaced. After the charcoal filter has been replaced, the electronic memory must be reset by touching key A for approximately five seconds, until the letter F stops flashing.
To attach a new charcoal filter, first open the cover panels and the filters as described above. Then offer up the charcoal filter into the frame as shown in figure 3. Repeat with the other charcoal filter. Then replace the grease filters and cover panels.
