Caring for your Cooker Hood
9
Before doing any cleaning or replacing the fil-
ters or light bulb,always ensure that the elec-
tricity supply to the Cooker Hood is switched
‘OFF’.
Filters and their replacement:
THE GREASEFILTER -
Your Cooker Hood is fitted with a grease filter
which absorbs grease,dust etc.and helps to
keep the appliance clean inside. Gradually the
filter will become saturated with grease and
when this happens the visual indicator stripes
will start to be seen through the filter grille.
When the stripes are clearly visible from out-
side the Hood - the grease filter must be
replaced.
IMPORTANT:There could be a possible fire
hazard if the grease filter is not replaced
when necessary and according to these
instructions.
Replacement grease filters are available from
your nearest retailer or our Genuine Parts and
Accessories Mail Order Hotline (see back
cover).
RELEASING THE GRILLE PANEL -
To open the grille
panel press the
catches into the
centre of the grille.
The grille will be
released and will
fall down,pivoting
to the rear (Fig.9).
Remove the metal
filter retainer by
pulling gently, to
release it from the
slot in the casing.
REPLACING THE GREASE FILTER -
1. Push the wire clips to one side and remove
(Fig.10).
2. Remove the saturated grease filter.
3. Place the new grease filter in the filter grille
(Fig.11).
4. Replace the retaining clips.
5. Close the grille panel.
THE CARBONFILTER -
(Recirculation only)
The activated carbon filter absorbs odours
arising from the cooking. In use,the filter will
slowly become saturated and gradually less
effective. The filter will normally require
changing every four months,depending on
the amount and type of cooking you have
done.
See page 5 (Figs.1 and 2) to set your Cooker
Hood to the recirculation option.
TO FIT THE CARBON FILTERS -
The deflector should be fixed to ensure the air
flow is away from the wall to avoid dirtying or
marking the rear wall (Fig.12) .
Place the new carbon filter,ensuring that it is
aligned. to lock the filter turn in the direction
of the arrow (Fig.13)
The Hood must not be connected to ducting
when in the recirculating mode.
Regular replacement of the charcoal filter will
ensure optimum performance from the hood
when recirculating.
TO REPLACE THE CARBON FILTER -
Remove the grille by turning the locks and
pull the grille out and downwards.
Remove the saturated carbon filter by rotating
it in an anti-clockwise direction and replace it
with a new one.
