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, as a build up of grease or fat can be a fire hazard.
External Cleaning
Wipe the cooker hood frequently with warm soapy water using a mild detergent.
Never use scouring pads or abrasive cleaners.
Never use excessive amounts of water when cleaning particularly around the control panel.
Metal Grease Filters
The grease filters absorb grease and dust during cooking to help keep the cooker hood clean inside.
Cleaning
The filters must be washed once every month, using a normal household detergent; their compact dimension also enables them to be washed in a dishwasher. Allow to dry completely before replacing.
Removing and replacing the filters Remove the filters one at a time, press against the metal actuator to release the spring catch as illustrated. When replacing, ensure that the handles face outwards.
Charcoal Filter
In the recirculation mode the charcoal filter absorbs smells and unwanted odours.
The charcoal filter cannot be cleaned or regenerated, and must be replaced approximately every 4 months, or more frequently if the hood is subjected to heavy usage.
Replacing the charcoal filter
First remove the metal grease filters.
Remove the saturated activated charcoal filter by releasing the fixing hooks as illustrated.
