Important!

Always disconnect the appliance from the mains electricity supply before carrying out any servicing or maintenance. Failure to do so may result in death or electrical shock.
Do not let grease deposits accumulate on your VentSurface, as these could create a fire hazard. Do not use harsh/abrasive cleaners, scourers or sharp metal scrapers to clean your VentSurface. Do not clean the areas behind the filters.
How do I know when the filters need cleaning/replacing?
Your VentSurface is set up to alert you when you need |
|
| ||
to clean the aluminium mesh filter (after 30 hours of | 2 | |||
operation) or replace the carbon filter (after 120 hours |
|
| ||
|
|
|
| |
of operation). |
|
|
|
|
|
| |||
|
| |||
If the aluminium mesh filter needs cleaning, the letter |
|
|
|
|
“A” will start flashing in the display alternately with the |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| ||
fan speed setting. See the instructions following. |
|

If you are using an |
|
| ||
needs replacing, the letter “C” will start flashing in the |
|

display alternately with the fan speed setting. See the |
