Caring for your Cooker Hood
11
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 GREASE FILTER -
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.
When this happens the grease filter must be
replaced,usually about every two months
depending on use.
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).
REPLACING THE GREASE FILTER -
The grease filter should be replace every 2
months:
1. Pull the visor out as far as it will go.
2. Remove the filter grille by releasing the
two slider catches at each side of the grille.
3. Push the clips to one side and remove.
4. Place the new grease filter in the filter
grille.
5. Replace the retaining clips. Refit the grille
panel into the hood.
THE CARBON FILTER -
(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 six months,depending on the
amount and type of cooking you have done.
TO FIT THE CARBON FILTERS -
The deflector
(Fig.17 N) should be
fitted over the hole,
fixing it with the
special screw
provided. The
deflector should be
fixed to ensure the
air flow is away from
the wall to avoid
dirtying or marking
the rear wall .
Place the new carbon filter,ensuring that
points Q and R align (Fig.18). To lock the filter
turn in the direction of the arrow (Fig.18 S).
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 (Fig.19) and
replace it with a new one.
