The hood-fan should provide many
years of troub le fr ee ser vice
provided it is maintained properly.

Cleaning the Filter

Clean the grease filter either by
carefully hand washing, (so as not to
damage the filte r des ign) o r,
pre fer abl y i n a di shwa she r.
Depending on use, the filters should
be cleaned at least every two weeks
in a dishwasher.
If a carbon filter has been fitted this
must be replaced at least every 6
months as a minimum. Depending
on cooking st yle and nature of
cooking (greasy foods, fry’s, curries
etc) would probably require more
frequent replacement – if odors start
to manif est them selve s whe n
cooking it is time to replace the
carbon filter . W e suggest you retain
a spare set. These can be ordered
from the supplier of your range
hood.

Cleaning the Hood

Cleaning of the internal parts should
be done with a clean dam p (not
excessively wet) cloth together with
regular household detergent. The
external stainless steel elements
should be cleaned with a good
quality foam ing st ainless steel
cleaner. Read the manufacturers
directions. Generally they recomend
that the foam be sprayed onto a
clean dr y cloth and then applied to
the stainless steel. Allow the foam to
react on the surface for a few
minutes and then wipe with a clean
dry cloth.

On the surfaces that are exposed
directly to heat from the cook-top, it
is advisable to clean these on a
regular basis to avoid the marks
from becoming baked on.
Do not under any circumstances use
an abrasive type cleaner as this will
scratch and damage the stainless
steel finish. Glass component s
should be cleaned with a product
such as Windex.

Light Bulb Replacement

Turn blower and lights off. Make
sure the lights are cool.
If new lights do not operate, check
fuses and be sure globes and
breakers are inserted correctly.
Do not remove the entire fixture
(socket) as this is very difficult to
reinstall. Gently pry the bulb from the
fixture using a soft instrum ent such
as a toothpick. Steel instruments
will scratch the surfac e (refer to
figure 2).
Replace the appropriate bulb. Check
parts brochur e or s pecificati on
sheets on our website.
Wipe both sides of the
glass whilst it is out. Re-insert the
glass-blocking ring and fasten it.
