MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Before carrying out any maintenance or
cleaning isolate the cooker hood from the
mains supply.
The cooker hood must be kept clean, as a
build up of grease or fat can be a fire
hazard.
External Cleaning
Wipe the cooker hood frequently with warm soapy
water using a mild detergent.
Never use scouring pads or abrasive
cleaners.
Never use excessive amounts of water
when cleaning particularly around the
control panel.
Metal Grease Filters
The grease filters absorb grease and dust during
cooking to help keep the cooker hood clean
inside, and should be cleaned approximately once
every month or more often if the hood is used for
more than 3 hours a day.
Remove/Replace the metal
grease filters:
1. Press against the metal catch to release
the spring catch as illustrated in Fig. 1.
2. Drop the front edge of the cassette down
as illustrated opposite and lift the back
edge out of the rear guide.
3. To refit insert the back edge of the
cassette into the rear guide and push up
the front edge until the spring catch
engages.
The metal grease filters should be washed, by
hand, in mild soapy water or in a dishwasher.
Allow to dry completely before replacing.
