Caring for your Cooker Hood
9
Before doing any cleaning or replacing the
filters or light bulb, always ensure that the
electricity supply to the Cooker Hood is
switched ‘OFF’.
Filters and their replacement:
THE GREASE FILTER -
The grease filter is fitted to absorb grease and
dust during cooking to help keep the
appliance clean inside.
The grease filter cannot be cleaned.
It must not be washed.
The has saturation indicators. Gradually the
squares of the filter become saturated with
grease. When the squares become saturated
the coloured indicators will start to run and
spread, this indicates that the grease filter
should be replaced.
To remove the grease filter open the metal
inlet grille, carefully ease out the metal
retaining wire clips. To remove the grease filter
open the grille by turning knob C (fig. 3).
Pull the plastic stops E as shown by the arrow
(fig. 4) and remove the grease filter.
Please ensure that the plastic clips are
handled with care.
IMPORTANT: There could be a possible fire
hazard if the grease filter is not cleared
when necessary and according to these
instructions.
THE CARBON FILTER -
(Recirculation only)
The carbon filter is an optional extra and is to
be fitted to the cooker hood when installed in
the recycling mode.
The activated carbon filter absorbs odours
arising from the cooking. In use, the filter will
slowly become saturated and gradually less
effective. The filter will normally require
changing every six months, depending on the
amount and type of cooking.
TO FIT THE CARBON FILTERS -
The deflector must be fitted over the hole
fixing it with a special screw provided. The
deflector should be fixed to ensure the air
flow is away from the wall to avoid dirtying or
marking the rear wall. Place the new carbon
filter over the motor housing. to lock the filter
turn in the direction indicated on the housing
(fig. 5). The hood must not be connected to
ducting when in recirculating mode.
Regular replacement of the charcoal filter will
ensure optimum performance from the hood
when recirculating.
