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 GREASE FILTER -
The grease filter is fitted to absorb grease and dust during cooking to help keep the appliance clean inside.
The grease filter cannot be cleaned.
It must not be washed.
The grease filter should be replaced every 2 months.
To remove the grease filter open the metal inlet grille, carefully ease out the metal retaining wire clips. To remove the grease filter open the grille by turning knob C (fig. 3).
Pull the plastic stops E as shown by the arrow (fig. 4) and remove the grease filter.
Please ensure that the plastic clips are handled with care.

THE CARBON FILTER - (Recirculation only)
The carbon filter is an optional extra and is to be fitted to the cooker hood when installed in the recycling mode.
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 six months, depending on the amount and type of cooking.
TO FIT THE CARBON FILTERS -
The deflector must be fitted over the hole fixing it with a special screw provided. The deflector should be fixed to ensure the air flow is away from the wall to avoid dirtying or marking the rear wall. Place the new carbon filter over the motor housing. to lock the filter turn in the direction indicated on the housing (fig. 5). The hood must not be connected to ducting when in recirculating mode.
Regular replacement of the charcoal filter will ensure optimum performance from the hood when recirculating.
