Care and cleaning

5. Care and cleaning
Prior to any maintenance or cleaning
work, isolate the hood from the electri-
cal supply by pulling out the appliance
connector plug or tripping the house in-
stallation circuit breaker or fully unscrew
the screw type fuse from the house ins-
tallation
• The extractor hood may not be clea-
ned with a steam cleaner.
• Do not use cleaning agents contai-
ning alcohol to clean appliances with
a matt black finish. This can lead to
discolouring.
• Non-compliance with the mainte-
nance 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 regu-
lar intervals.
• Filters saturated with grease can
quickly catch fire and also distribute
unpleasant odours.
• Grease filters obstructed by dirt par-
ticles seriously impair the appliance
function.
• Especially cleaning the area of the
control elements, take great care to
prevent water entering the electro-
nics.

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 preser-
vative is recommended to prevent sur-
faces 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.
