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, 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.
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.
Synthetic Paper Grease Filter
The filter has saturation indicators, which are
small squares made from a series of dots.
When the white paper inside the squares
becomes saturated with grease the coloured
dots start to run and spread across the paper,
indicating that the filter has reached saturation
point and must be replaced.
The synthetic paper grease filter cannot be
cleaned.
It must not be washed.
