Cleaning
WARNING!
Important!
For all maintenance, first switch off the mains power to the cooker hood by pulling
the plug out of the socket or by turning off the home's master switch. The hood needs to be
cleaned regularly, both inside as well as outside (at least as often as the grease filter).
Do not use abrasive cleaning products. Do not use alcohol!
If the instructions regarding cleaning of the appliance or replacing the filters are not followed,
this can cause a fire. These instructions must be followed! The manufacturer is not liable for
damage to the hood or fire damage resulting from incompetent maintenance or from
non-adherence to the safety instruction above.
Cooker hood
Clean the cooker hood with soapy water and a soft cloth.
Then rinse with clean water. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents such as caustic soda. The
cooker hood finish stays in good condition if it is buffed periodically following the application of wax.
NOTE!
Stainless steel cooker hoods
Do not use scouring pads or other abrasive cleaners on stainless steel cooker hoods. Finish with
a non-abrasive, non-polishing agent and buff the stainless steel in the direction of the grain.
Metal grease filters
Metal grease filters should be cleaned once a month (or when indicated by the filter cleaning indicator
– if present on the model) using a neutral cleaning agent, either by hand or in the dishwasher on a
short, low-temperature program. Place the grease filters with the openings facing downwards in the
dishwasher so the water can drain out of the filter. Aluminium grease filters become dull as a result
of dishwasher cleaning agents. This is normal and does not effect the working.
