MAINTENANCE
7 - MAINTENANCE
Regular maintenance and cleaning will ensure good performance and reliability, while extending the
working life of the hood. Special attention should be paid to the grease filters and to the charcoal
filters when the hood is used in the recirculation mode.
7.1 - Metal grease filters
1 - Cleaning
The metal grease filter should be cleaned every two months with normal usage and can be
cleaned in a dishwasher or by hand using a mild detergent or liquid soap.
2 - Replacement
The metal grease filter panels are easily removed, one at a time, by pushing them backwards
while pulling downwards. Care should be taken to support the filter with one hand while
releasing the securing bolts with the other hand. The filter panels should be refitted with bolt
side facing downwards.
ATTENTION -
There could be a possible fire hazard if the filters are not replaced according to
these instructions.
7.2 - Charcoal filters
1 - Functioning
In the recycling mode the charcoal filters absorb
smells and odours. This hood is designed to be fitted
with two charcoal filters on both sides of the fan
unit. The charcoal filter cannot be washed and
should be replaced at least every 4 months or more
frequently if the hood is used consistently.
2 - Replacement
To remove the charcoal filters place one hand on
one filter at a time and turn it toward the front part.
The charcoal filter can now be removed. Always ensure to replace both filters at the same time
(fig. 11)
.
7.3 - Worktop illumination
A 15W fluorescent strip lamp or two (28W - 40W)lamps ensure the illumination of the worktop.
To replace the strip lamp or the lamps operate as follows as illustrated in
(fig. 12)
:
1 - Remove the lighting diffuser by unscrewing the screw in the metal clip (item
T
) near the control
box. The glass diffuser is kept in position by the retaining lugs (item
Z
).
2 - Pull the glass diffuser slightly down as shown by arrow 2, then slide the glass backwards as
directed by arrow 3, until the glass diffuser
can be removed. When changing the lamps
or the fluorescent strip lamp, an identical
replacement must be fitted to ensure the
safe working of the cooker hood. To refit
the glass diffuser, reverse the operation.
7.4 - Cleaning
The metal work, both inside and outside, should be cleaned regularly by using a mild household
detergent or liquid soap. Care should be taken not to use abrasive cleaning materials, especially
when cleaning stainless steel surfaces.
