MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Regular maintenance and cleaning will ensure good performance and reliability, while extending the working life of the hood. Special attention should be paid to the grease
filter cassettes and the charcoal filter when the hood is used in the recirculation mode.
Before carrying out any mainte- nance or cleaning isolate the cooker hood from the mains supply.
METAL GREASE FILTERS
The grease filters absorb grease and dust during cooking to help keep the chimney hood clean inside, and should be cleaned every month with normal usage or more frequently if the hood is used consistently over 4 hours per day.
Remove the metal grease filter cassettes one at a time, by pressing the release catch towards the rear of the hood as illustrated opposite. When replacing the filters ensure that the handle faces forwards.
The metal grease filters can be washed in a dishwasher or by hand using a mild detergent
or liquid soap.
CHARCOAL FILTER
In the recirculation mode the activated charcoal filter absorbs smells and unwanted odours.
The charcoal filter cannot be cleaned or regenerated and must be replaced every four months, or more frequently if the hood is used consistently over 4 hours per day.
To replace the charcoal filter, first remove the metal grease filters and press against the plastic retaining clips to remove
the charcoal filter as illustrated opposite.
We recommend that you wear rubber gloves when removing the charcoal filter as the filter will be saturated in grease. Put the filter into a polythene bag or container so that the grease and dirt cannot spill onto clothing of
furnishing.
THIS APPLIANCE CAN BE A POSSIBLE FIRE HAZARD IF THE GREASE FILTERS ARE NOT CLEANED AND THE CHARCOAL FILTERS REPLACED AS
RECOMMENDED.
Replacement charcoal filters may be purchased by returning the enclosed order form, or by telephoning 01803 296155 if you
wish to pay by credit card.
