Maintenance and care
The mains plug must be pulled out or the fuse
switched off or screwed out before maintenance or
cleaning work is carried out on the hood!
Why maintenance?
Carry out regular maintenance on your hood! Maintenance is
essential in order to ensure that the hood works properly and
effectively and that the risk of the grease filters catching alight
does not arise.
The metal grease filters should be regularly cleaned in good time
in order to ensure that they work properly and that the
performance of the hood is not impaired.
Maintenance cycles
Metal grease filter
The metal grease filter should be cleaned once a month in the
case of normal household use or alternatively whenever the
display lights up after approx. 40 hours of operation.
To cancel see the section “Saturation display”.
Charcoal filter (recirculation air operation only)
In the case of normal household use the charcoal filter can
absorb odorants for up to six months before it needs to be
replaced or alternatively, it must be replaced whenever the
display lights up after approx. 230 hours of operation.
To cancel see the section “Saturation display”.
The charcoal filter must be replaced sooner when the hood is
used more frequently and odours are not sufficiently reduced.
The metal filter should be cleaned in good time and the charcoal
filter replaced, in particular in the case of recirculation air
operation, in order to avoid undesirable deposits of greasy
vapours and condensate on kitchen units. Besides, a clogged
metal filter will no longer be able to absorb particles of fat and
these will then be unnecessarily deposited on the charcoal filter,
thus impairing the effect of the odour filter.
Cleaning the hood
The hood may only be cleaned when the mains plug
has been pulled out or the fuse switched off!
Use only a mild cleaning agent (e.g. detergent) to wipe
the outer surfaces of the hood and then dry it with a clean cloth.
No aggressive cleaning agents, scouring agents or sharp items
should be used. Stainless steel surfaces can be cleaned with a
commercially-available stainless steel cleaning agent and a soft,
non-abrasive sponge or cloth. When cleaning stainless steel
surfaces, wiping motions should always correspond with the
direction of the structure in order to avoid scratches.
Clean the glass surfaces with household glass cleaners only and
then rub the glass dry.
