MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Before carrying out any
maintenance or cleaning
isolate the cooker hood from
the mains supply.
The cooker hood must be kept
clean, a build up of grease or fat
can be a fire hazard.
If you have the cooker hood operating in
the re-circulation mode, it is necessary to
change the charcoal filters (N) regularly
according to use. They should be
changed at least twice a year.
To remove the charcoal filters:
- take off the anti-grease grilles as
described in the installation section.
- lift the two metallic stops (P).
- remove the charcoal filter.
The 2 anti-grease filters are easily
removed from the grille by following the
instructions and lifting the two metallic
stops (P). If you are using the hood in the
re-circulation mode, you will need to
remove the charcoal filter to access the
anti-grease filters.
WARNING: There is a third metallic filter
(not visible) which can be accessed
through opening R.
External Cleaning
Any fat deposits should be removed
regularly, at least every two months.
Avoid using abrasive or corrosive cleaning
products.
To clean the outside of the cooker hood,
use a cloth dipped in lukewarm water to
which a small amount of washing up liquid
has been added.
To clean the steel, brass or copper parts
on the outside of the appliance, use a
proprietary cleaner and follow the
manufacturer’s instructions.
The inside of the appliance should be
cleaned with a soft cloth or brush dipped in
warm soapy water.
