CLEANING AND CARE
Prior to any maintenance or cleaning work, isolate the hood from the electrical supply
by: pulling out the appliance connector plug or tripping the house installation circuit
breaker or fully unscrew the screw type fuse from the house installation.
• The extractor hood is not to be cleaned with a steam cleaner.
• Do not use cleaning agents containing alcohol to clean appliances
•
with a matt black finish. These can lead to discolouring.
• Non-compliance with the maintenance and cleaning instructions can result in a fire
hazard due to grease deposits.
• The grease filters on your appliance are to be cleaned or replaced at regular
intervals.
• Filters saturated with grease can quickly catch fire and also distribute unpleasant
odours.
• Grease filters obstructed by dirt particles seriously impair the appliance function.
• When cleaning the area of the control elements, take great care to prevent water
entering the electronics.
Special information for appliances with a stainless steel casing
• A commercially available non-abrasive stainless steel cleaning agent should be
used for cleaning stainless steel surfaces.
• Treatment with a stainless steel preservative is recommended to prevent surfaces
becoming quickly re-soiled.
• Apply the agent all over and economically using a soft cloth.
• Never use stainless steel cleaning agents in the vicinity of the control elements.
•
When cleaning metal grease filters take care not to damage the mesh.
• Frequent cleaning or the use of aggressive cleaning agents can cause colour
changes to the metal surface.
• These do not affect the filter function and are not grounds for complaint.
Changing the grease filter
• Change paper grease filters monthly.
• Change paper grease filters with alarm everytwo months or when the colour of the
surface becomes visible through the mesh openings. This filter is coloured on one
side; after fitting, this colouring must not be visible through the mesh openings.
• Foam grease filters must be soaked once a month in warm soapy water for 1 to
2 hours. Do not wring out; repeat where required and replace the filter by a new
item after a maximum of 5-6 washes.
• Metal grease filters do not have to be replaced when they are over-saturated but
washed once a month by hand or in a dishwasher (60 °C). Allow the filter to dry
thoroughly and carefully replace it in the extractor hood.
Do not use alkaline dishwashing detergents (pH value above 7).
