CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING!
Unplug or disconnect the appliance from the power supply before servicing or cleaning.
IMPORTANT!
●
Never use abrasive or oil based cleaners.
●
Wear gloves to protect against sharp edges.
Maintenance
The downdraft vent system should be cleaned regularly using a mild, liquid detergent
and a clean soft cloth to avoid a build-up of grease occurring. Avoid the use of corrosive
chemicals, abrasive cleaning products, hard brushes and steel wool pads. Grease
deposits are corrosive which can cause damage to your downdraft vent system.
Note: in areas of high humidity or coastal environments, cleaning should be carried out
more frequently.
Grease filters
●
Depending on use, and at least once a month, the aluminum grease filters should be
removed and cleaned with hot soapy water or in a dishwasher. Please note that contact
with other items in the dishwasher may cause surface scratching.
●
If washed in a dishwasher, the filter should be placed in an upright position to prevent
food from falling on them.
●
After cleaning and drying, refit the filters.
Removing the grease filters:
1
Place fingertips in the groove at the top
for the filters.
2
Press down on the filters far enough for
the tab at the top of the filters to clear.
3
Pull forward to release the filter from its
groove.
4
Reverse these instructions when refitting
the filters.
Remote blower
Disconnect the power supply and lock out the service panel before cleaning or servicing.
To clean, remove the cover and vacuum the blower and housing, being careful not
to damage the blower impeller. The motor is permanently lubricated, do not oil or
disassemble.
