Caring for your Cooker Hood
Before doing any cleaning or replacing the filters or light bulb, always ensure that the electricity supply to the Cooker Hood is switched ‘OFF’.
Filters and their replacement:
THE METAL GREASE FILTERS -
The grease filters are fitted to absorb grease and dust during cooking to help keep the appliance clean inside.
The metal filters must be cleaned frequently, at least once every thirty days of normal use.
The filters should be handwashed in hot soapy water. Alternatively they could be washed in a dishwasher.
After cleaning the filters, dry thoroughly before reinstalling.
IMPORTANT: There could be a possible fire hazard if the grease filter is not cleaned when necessary and according to these instructions.
TO REMOVE THE GREASE FILTERS -
Release the catches on the filter (Fig.6), then the filter can be removed.

THE CARBON FILTER (2 pieces) -
(Recirculation Model only...)
The carbon filter absorbs odours arising from the cooking. In use, the filter will slowly become saturated and gradually less effective. The filter will normally require changing every four months, depending on the amount and type of cooking.
NOTE: The carbon filter must never be washed.
TO FIT THE CARBON FILTERS -
1.Remove the grease filters.
2.Place one filter on each side so that they cover the grates protecting the rotor on the motor.
3.Turn the centre handle (Fig.7) clockwise until filters are fixed in position.
4.Refit the grease filters.

TO REPLACE THE CARBON FILTERS -
