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.
The external surfaces of the hood should be
cleaned regularly. Wipe the cooker hood
frequently with warm soapy water using a mild
detergent. Dry thoroughly after cleaning.
Always wear protective gloves when cleaning
the hood.
Never use scouring pads or abrasive cleaners.
Never use excessive amounts of water when
cleaning particularly around the control panel.

The charcoal filters absorb the odours from cooking.
They will slowly become saturated and gradually less
effective.
The charcoal filters cannot be cleaned, we
recommend they are replaced every 3-6 months or
more often if the hood is used for more than 3 hours
per day.
