Cleaning
General cleaning
To avoid the build-up of grease and damage to your range hood:
– Clean your range hood regularly using a mild, liquid detergent and a clean soft cloth.
– Do not use corrosive chemicals, abrasive cleaning products, citrus based cleaning
products, hard brushes and steel wool pads.
Note: In areas of high humidity or coastal environments, cleaning should be carried out
more frequently.
Filters and grease trays
Filters and grease tray should be cleaned at least once a month:
● ●
Filters and grease trays should be removed and cleaned with hot soapy water or in a
dishwasher.
● ●
If washed in a dishwasher, the filter and grease tray should be placed in an upright position.
● ●
After cleaning and drying, refit the filters and grease trays.
The filters must
always
be in place when the range hood is in use, as they prevent
damage to the inside of the range hood. Grease trays must be in place before installing
the filters.
To remove the filters:
1
Grasp the filter knobs, push up and pull towards you to allow the back of the filter to
come free of the grease trays (refer to
A
).
2
Lower the back of the filter down to disengage the filter from the front of the range hood
(refer to B ).
