• switch on the hood, set the fan speed
level to 2 or higher and let it run for
some time to get rid of the remaining
moisture.
9.4 Cleaning the hood filter
The filter prevents grease particles from
getting into the hood system. Clean the
filter regularly and regenerate it
periodically.
Normal cleaning
Clean the filter as soon as the built-up
grease is visible. The cleaning frequency
depends on the amount of fat and oil
used in cooking. It is recommended to
clean the filter every 10-20 hours, or
more frequently, if needed.
1. Remove the filter and filter housing
carefully. They are located right
under the grid in the centre of the
hob.
2. Clean the hood cavity with a cleaning
foam.
3. Wash the filter and filter housing
manually in warm water without using
detergents or abrasive sponges. You
can also wash them in a dishwasher
at 65-70 °C (using a program longer
than 90 minutes), without detergents
and without dishes in the same load.
Only the plastic parts can be cleaned
using detergents.
4. Dry the filter for 20-30 minutes in the
oven at 70 °C. Make sure to use a
non-fan oven function.
Fix the filter and filter housing back in
place when they are fully dried.
Regenerating the filter
The hob has a built-in counter that
reminds you about regenerating the filter.
The counter starts automatically when
you turn on the hood for the first time.
After 100 hours of use the filter indicator
starts blinking to signal that it is time
to regenerate the filter. The notification
stays on for 30 seconds after you
deactivate the hood and the hob. The
notification does not block the use of the
hob.
The maximum number of
regeneration cycles is 6-7.
After that time, the filter
needs to be replaced with a
new one.
1. Clean the filter manually or in a
dishwasher, as described above
(normal cleaning).
2. Put the filter in the oven set to
80-110 °C for 60 minutes. Make sure
to use a non-fan oven function.
3. Fix the filter and filter housing back in
place.
Reset the counter.
