damage to the hob. Take care to
avoid burns. Use a special hob
scraper on the glass surface at an
acute angle and move the blade on
the surface.
• Remove when the hob is
sufficiently cool: limescale rings,
water rings, fat stains, shiny metallic
discoloration. Clean the hob with a
moist cloth and a non-abrasive
detergent. After cleaning, wipe the
hob dry with a soft cloth.
• Remove shiny metallic
discoloration: use a solution of water
with vinegar and clean the glass
surface with a cloth.

8.3 Cleaning the hood

Grid
The grid guides the air into the hood.
Additionally, it protects the hood system
and prevents foreign objects from falling
inside by accident. You can wash the
grid manually or in a dishwasher. Wipe
the grid with a soft cloth.
Water tank
There is a water tank located under the
hood. It collects the condensation
created during each cooking process.
Remember to empty the water tank
regularly.
Before you open the water tank, place a
container or a tray under it to collect
water. To open the water tank, slide the
latches out and open them one by one.
WARNING!
Make sure you do not let
water get inside the hood.
If water or other liquids spill inside the
hood system:
• switch off the hood in the first place,
• lift the grid and clean the hood area
carefully with a moist cloth or sponge
and a mild cleaning agent,
• wipe away the excess liquid gathered
on the bottom of the hood cavity using
a sponge or a dry cloth,
• clean the filter, if needed (refer to
"Cleaning the hood filter"),
• switch on the hood, set the fan speed
level to 2 or higher and let it run for
some time to get rid of the remaining
moisture.
8.4 Cleaning the hood filter
The hood filter prevents grease particles
from getting into the hood system. The
filter consists of two elements located on
the left and right side of the filter housing.
• Clean the filter as soon as the built-up
grease is visible. The cleaning
frequency depends on the amount of
fat and oil used in cooking. It is
recommended to clean the filter every
10-20 hours, or more frequently, if
needed.
• The hob has a built-in counter with a
notification that reminds you about
cleaning the filter. The counter for the
notification starts automatically when
you turn on the hood for the first time.
After 100 hours of use the filter
indicator starts blinking to signal
that it is time to clean the filter. The
notification stays on for 30 seconds
after you deactivate the hood and the
hob. The notification does not block
the use of the hob.
WARNING!
An oversaturated filter can
pose a risk of fire.
Disassembling / reassembling
the filter
The filter and filter housing are located
right under the grid in the centre of the
hob. Remove them carefully as they
might be slippery due to accumulated
grease.
1. Remove the grid.
