Maintenance and Care

• The hood must always be disconnected from the electricity
supply before beginning any maintenance work.

Cleaning the hood

• Clean the outside of the hood using a damp cloth and a solution of
water and mild washing up liquid.
• Never use corrosive, abrasive or flammable cleaning products or
products containing bleach. .
• Never insert pointed objects in the motor's protective grid.
• Only ever clean the switch panel and filter grill using a damp cloth
and mild washing up liquid.
• It is extremely important to clean the unit and change the filters at
the recommended intervals. Failure to do so will cause grease
deposits to build up that could constitute a fire hazard.

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

• Pull the handle downwards, then remove the filter. Fig. 4.
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
caustic detergents, abrasive powders or brushes).
