CLEANING AND CARE

Prior to any maintenance or cleaning work, isolate the hood from the electrical supply
by: pulling out the appliance connector plug or tripping the house installation circuit
breaker or fully unscrew the screw type fuse from the house installation.
• The extractor hood is not to be cleaned with a steam cleaner.
• Do not use cleaning agents containing alcohol to clean appliances
• with a matt black finish. These can lead to discolouring.
• Non-compliance with the maintenance and cleaning instructions can result in a fire
hazard due to grease deposits.
• The grease filters on your appliance are to be cleaned or replaced at regular
intervals.
• Filters saturated with grease can quickly catch fire and also distribute unpleasant
odours.
• Grease filters obstructed by dirt particles seriously impair the appliance function.
• When cleaning the area of the control elements, take great care to prevent water
entering the electronics.
Special information for appliances with a stainless steel casing
A commercially available non-abrasive stainless steel cleaning agent should be used for
cleaning stainless steel surfaces.
Treatment with a stainless steel preservative is recommended to prevent surfaces
becoming quickly re-soiled. Apply the agent all over and economically
using a soft cloth.
Never use stainless steel cleaning agents in the vicinity of the control elements. When
cleaning metal grease filters take care not to damage the mesh. Frequent cleaning or the
use of aggressive cleaning agents can cause colour changes to the metal surface.
These do not affect the filter function and are not grounds for complaint.
Changing the grease filter
• Change paper grease filters monthly.
• Change paper grease filters with alarm everytwo months or when the colour of the
surface becomes visible through the mesh openings. This filter is coloured on one
side; after fitting, this colouring must not be visible through the mesh openings.
• Foam grease filters must be soaked once a month in warm soapy water for 1 to 2
hours. Do not wring out; repeat where required and replace the filter by a new item
after a maximum of 5-6 washes.
• Metal grease filters do not have to be replaced when they are over-saturated but
washed once a month by hand or in a dishwasher (60°). Allow the filter to dry
thoroughly and carefully replace it in the extractor hood.
Carbon filters
a) Traditional carbon filters (normally round in shape) can be neither washer nor
regenerated. In normal use and depending on their size, replace every 4 to 6 months.
Comply with the relevant instructions on the package.
