Maintenance
Regular maintenance and cleaning of the appliance will ensure trou -
ble-free operation of the cooker hood and extend its life. Especially make
sure that the grease filter and activated charcoal filter are replaced ac -
cording to manufacturer's recommendations.
• Do not use a soaked cloth, sponge, or water jet.
• Do not use solvents or alcohol, as they may tarnish lacquered sur -
faces.
• Do not use caustic substances, especially for cleaning stainless steel.
• Do not use a rough or abrasive cloth.
• It is recommend to use a damp cloth and a neutral detergent.
Note: After several washes in the dishwasher, the colour of the alumini -
um filter may change. The change of colour does not indicate improprie -
ties or the necessity to change it.
Grease filter
For normal hood operation, aluminium grease filter should be cleaned
every month in the dishwasher or by hand using a mild detergent or
liquid soap.
Dismantling of aluminium grease filter is shown on Figure 5.
Acrylic filter is used in some models. This filter should be replaced at
least once every two months or more frequently if the appliance is used
intensively.
Activated charcoal filter
Charcoal filter is used only when the cooker hood is not connected to
the ventilation duct. Activated charcoal filter can absorb odours until
saturated. Charcoal filter is not suitable for washing or regeneration and
should be replaced at least once every two months or more frequently if
the appliance is used intensively.
Dismantling of charcoal filter is shown on Figure 6.
Light
Use incandescent / halogen / LED modules of the same specification as
those factory-installed in the appliance. See Figure 7 for details how to
replace lights. If there is no such figure in this manual, please contact
authorised service to replace the lighting module.
