CARE & CLEANING
Before cleaning or maintenance switch off the electricity supply.
Replacing the LED Lights
If the appliance version is with LED lamps, the intervention of a specialised technician is neces-
sary to replace them
Outer Casing
All external parts of the outer casing can be safely cleaned with a clean cloth wrung out in hot
soapy water.
Do not use caustic pastes, abrasive cleaning powders, wire wool, hard implements or any pro-
ducts containing chlorides as they will damage the surfaces.
Stubborn marks can be removed using a stainless steel cleaner. We recommend that you clean
the whole of the stainless steel area to maintain a uniform finish.
Sharp objects can mark the surface of stainless steel, but marks will become less noticeable with
time.
To maintain the finish of the stainless steel, or to remove any greasy marks, wipe the stainless
steel surface sparingly with a minimum amount of Baby Oil and kitchen paper.
Do not use cooking oils, as these may contain salt, which can damage the stainless steel surface.
Before cleaning or maintenance switch off the electricity supply.
To avoid any fire risk, the following cleaning instructions must be followed:
Grease Filters
The grease filters absorb grease and dust from cooking fumes, which would otherwise damage
the inside of the hood.
The grease filters should be removed and cleaned regularly - with normal use, this should be
every 2 months.
To clean use warm soapy water, or wash in a dishwasher. The grease filters may slightly change
colour following washing, however this does not affect their performance.
Important: Frequent washing is essential to prevent a build-up of grease in the filters which could
become a fire hazard.
1. Remove the filters from the hood.
2. Carefully wash the grease filters in hot soapy water and dry with a clean towel.
3. Refit the clean filters.
Carbon Filters (models installed for use with the re-circulation method only)
The carbon filters absorb cooking odours and need renewing after about 6 months of normal use.
Replacement carbon filters can be obtained from our Customer Care (details at the rear of the
handbook).
Saturation of the activated charcoal in the filter will depend on how often the hood is used, the
type of kitchen and the regularity of cleaning the grease filter.
The carbon filters cannot be washed - renew every 6 months.
