Maintenance and cleaning
Caution:
• Before maintenance or cleaning is carried out, the
range hood should be disconnected from the main
power supply. Ensure that the range hood is switched
off at the wall socket and the plug removed.
• External surfaces are susceptible to scratches and
abrasions, so please follow the cleaning instructions
to ensure the best possible result is achieved without
damage.
GENERAL
Cleaning and maintenance should be carried out with
the appliance cold especially when cleaning
Avoid leaving alkaline or acid substances (lemon
juice, vinegar etc.) on the surfaces
STAINLESS STEEL
The stainless steel must be cleaned regularly (e.g.
weekly) to ensure long life expectancy.
Dry with a clean soft cloth. A specialized stainless
steel cleaning fluid may be used.
NOTE: Ensure that wiping is done along with the
grain of the stainless steel to prevent any
unsightly crisscross scratching patterns from
appearing.
CONTROL PANEL SURFACE
The inlay control panel can be cleaned using warm
soapy water. Ensure the cloth is clean and well wrung
before cleaning. Use a dry soft cloth to remove any
excess moisture left after cleaning.
Important
Avoid using harsh cleaning chemicals, strong
household detergents or products containing
abrasives as this will affect the appliance
appearance and potentially remove any printing
of artwork on the control panel and will void
manufactures warrantee
GREASE MESH FILTERS
The mesh filters can be cleaned either by hand or in
the dishwasher. After cleaning ensure that the filters
are completely dry before refitting.
- By hand: Soak in warm water and a neutral
washing up liquid. For stubborn grease stains use a
soft nylon brush or sponge to help remove these
stains. (Leave to dry naturally out of direct sun light)
- In a dishwasher: Ensure that placement of the
filters is made so as to not impede the function of the
spray arm. Washing the filters in a dishwasher may
cause discoloration of the aluminum inner mesh over
time although it will not affect their performance.
Filters should be washed separately to crockery and
kitchen utensils. it is advisable not to use rinse aid.
CHARCOAL FILTERS
When air recirculation mode is chosen, a charcoal
filter is a must. It is not washable and should be
replaced when it no longer absorbs kitchen odors
effectively. Under normal use, this would be
approximately every 3 months or more frequently for
particularly heavy usage.
REPLACE LAMP
Remove two grease mesh filters, twist to remove bulb,
whilst cool, and replace carefully with a new bulb. The
range hood takes 2 x 40W incandescent bulbs.
Important
When handling bulb, make sure it is completely cool
down before any direct contact to hands.
