Cleaning
o
Clean the external parts of your rangehood with mild liquid
detergent and a new damp cloth.
o
Never use abrasive powder, corrosive solvents or brushes.
o
Never insert pointed objects into the motor’s protective grid.
o
Only clean the control panel and grease filter grill with mild liquid
detergents and a new damp cloth.
o
If you are using the appliance in recirculation mode, then be sure to
replace the carbon filters at the recommended intervals (see section
on “Fitting the carbon filter”). A build up of grease could cause a
fire hazard.
o
Never attempt to clean the area above the grease filters.
The grease filters
o
Your rangehood is fitted with grease filters, which help to absorb
grease particles and protect your kitchen and furniture from greasy
residues.
o
These metallic filters may become inflammable if you allow them to
get saturated with this greasy residue.
o
To prevent this fire hazard, the filters 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.

DO NOT WASH THE GREASE FILTERS IN A DISHWASHER.
