Caring for your Cooker Hood
Before doing any cleaning or replacing the fil- ters or light bulb, always ensure that the elec- tricity supply to the Cooker Hood is switched ‘OFF’.
Filters and their replacement:
THE GREASE FILTER -
Your Cooker Hood is fitted with a grease filter which absorbs grease, dust etc. and helps to keep the appliance clean inside. Gradually the filter will become saturated with grease and when this happens the visual indicator stripes will start to be seen through the filter grille. When the stripes are clearly visible from out- side the Hood - the grease filter must be replaced.
IMPORTANT: There could be a possible fire hazard if the grease filter is not replaced when necessary and according to these instructions.
Replacement grease filters are available from your nearest retailer or our Genuine Parts and Accessories Mail Order Hotline (see back cover).

THE CARBON FILTER - (Recirculation only)
The activated 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 you have done.
See page 5 (Figs. 1 and 2) to set your Cooker Hood to the recirculation option.
TO FIT THE CARBON FILTERS -
The deflector should be fixed to ensure the air flow is away from the wall to avoid dirtying or marking the rear wall (Fig.12) .
