CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Before carrying out any cleaning or
maintenance isolate the cooker hood
from the mains supply.
The cooker hood must be kept clean,
as a build up of fat or grease can be a
fire hazard.
External Cleaning
Wipe over the cooker hood frequently with a
cloth wrung out in 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 charcoal filter by
releasing the fixing hooks as illustrated.
