Care and maintenance
IMPORTANT: Before cleaning or maintenance please switch off the
electricity supply and remove the plug from the wall.
Regular cleaning
Use a soft cloth moistened with lukewarm mildly soapy water or household
cleaning detergent. Never use metal pads, chemicals, abrasive material,
abrasive cleaning creams or stiff brushes to clean the appliance.
Cleaning the grease filter
Clean the filter every month to help minimize the risk of fire.
The filter collects grease, smoke, and dust; therefore, the filter is directly
affecting the efficiency of the cooker hood. If not cleaned, the grease residue
(which is potentially flammable) will saturate the filter. It can be easily cleaned
with warm water and washing up liquid, alternatively the filters can be
cleaned in your dishwasher. Please ensure no other items are washed with
the filters, they must be washed separately to prevent food becoming trapped
in the gauze. Cleaning the grease filters in the dishwasher may lead to
discolouration, this is normal and is a not a fault with the product.
Replacing your charcoal filter
This only applies if you are using the hood in recirculation mode (not vented to
the outside). The charcoal filter traps your cooking odours and they need to be
replaced, this can vary depending on how frequently the cooker hood is used.
We recommend replacing them at least every 6 months.
