Cleaning and care
Before cleaning or servicing the hood, disconnect it from the power supply by either removing the fuse, unplugging it from the outlet or manually "tripping" the circuit breaker.

Cleaning the casing | Grease filters |
Warning: Never use abrasive cleansers, scouring pads, steel wool or caustic (oven) cleaners on the hood. They will damage the surface.
^All external surfaces and controls can be cleaned with warm water and liquid dish soap applied with a soft sponge.
^Wipe dry using a soft cloth.
Do not use too much water when cleaning the controls. Water could penetrate into the electronics and cause damage.
Avoid:
–cleaning agents containing soda, acids or chlorides,
–abrasive cleaning agents
e.g. powder or cream cleansers,
–abrasive sponges, e.g. pot scourers or sponges which have been previously used with abrasive cleaning agents,
–limescale removers.
These will damage the surface.
The reusable metal grease filters remove solid particles from the vented kitchen air (grease, dust, etc).
The grease filters should be cleaned every 3 - 4 weeks or when the grease filter indicator lights.
A dirty filter is a fire hazard.
^To remove the grease filters pull the locking clips forward. Lower the filter 45° unhook it at the rear and take it out. Support the grease filters so that they do not fall onto the cooktop.
