Cleaning your rangehood
IMPORTANT: BEFORE CLEANING, ALWAYS ENSURE THAT YOU HAVE SWITCHED
YOUR RANGEHOOD OFF AT THE OMNI-POLAR SWITCH, SET AT THE WALL FROM
THE CABLE.
Clean the external parts of your rangehood with mild liquid detergent and a
new damp cloth.
Never use abrasive powder, corrosive solvents or brushes.
Never insert pointed objects into the motor’s protective grid
Only clean the control panel and grease filter grill with mild liquid detergents
and a new damp cloth.
If you are using the appliance in recirculation mode, then be sure to replace
the charcoal filters at the recommended interval (see section on “Fitting the
charcoal filter” on page 10). A build up of grease could cause a fire hazard.
Never attempt to clean the area above the grease filter.
The Grease filter
Your rangehood includes a grease filter which helps to absorb grease particles
to protect your kitchen and furniture from greasy residues.
These metallic filters may become flammable if it becomes saturated with
greasy residue.
To prevent this fire hazard, the grease filter should be cleaned regularly.
Depending on use, this should be done every 10 – 15 days or at least once a
month, using hot water and normal washing-up detergent.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT WASH THE GREASE FILTERS IN A DISHWASHERBECAUSE
WHILE THEY ARE DISHAWASHER SAFE, CHEMICALS FROM DISHWASHING
DETERGENT CAN CAUSE DAMAGE.
