Maintenance and Care
Before performing any maintenance operation, isolate the hood from the electrical
supply by switching off at the connector and removing the connector fuse.
Or if the appliance has been connected through a plug and socket, then the plug
must be removed from the socket.
Metal grease filter
• The purpose of the grease filters is to absorb
grease particles which form during cooking
and it must always be used, either in the
external extraction or internal re-circulation
function.
Attention: the metal grease filters must be
removed and washed, either by hand or in the
dishwasher, every four weeks.
Removing the metal grease filter
Hand washing
Soak grease filters for about one hour in hot
water with a grease-loosening cleaner, then
rinse off thoroughly with hot water. Repeat the
process if necessary. Refit the grease filters
when they are dry.
Dishwasher
Place grease filters in the dishwasher. Select
most powerful washing programme and
highest temperature, at least 65°C. Repeat
the process. Refit the grease filters when they
are dry.
When washing the metal grease filter in the
dishwasher a slight discolouration of the filter
can occur, this does not have any impact on
its performance.
• Clean the inner housing using a hand hot
solution only (never use corrosive, abrasive or
flammable cleaning products or products
containing bleach).
• Use the spring handle and remove the filter
downward.
