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.
Always wear protective gloves when cleaning the hood.
Never use scouring pads or abrasive cleaners.
Never use excessive amounts of water when cleaning particularly around the control panel.
Synthetic Paper Grease Filter
The filter has saturation indicators, which are small squares made from a series of dots. When the white paper inside the squares becomes saturated with grease the coloured dots start to run and spread across the paper, indicating that the filter has reached saturation point and must be replaced.
To replace the synthetic paper grease filter
1.Open the visor.
2.Press inwardly on the two slide catches and lower the grille to the stop position. Raise the front edge of the grille through a 45° angle until it detaches itself from the guides.
3.Carefully ease out the metal wire retaining clips.
4.Clean the metal grille and clips before replacing the grease filter.
Handle the wire clips with care and keep away from children as they have sharp points.
