Cleaning and care
33
Operating hours counter
The cooker hood registers the length of
time for which it has been operated.
When the grease filter symbol
or the
charcoal filter symbol
lights up, the
operating hours counters are signalling
that the filters need to be cleaned or
replaced.
You can set the operating hours counter
to suit the type of cooking you do (see
“Changing settings”).
Reading the filter operating hours
counter
You can check the percentage of time
set already used before the filter needs
replacing.
Switch the fan on with the On/Off
control
.
Press and hold the operating hours
control
:
- Once, to read the grease filter
operating hours. The grease filter
symbol
lights up.
- Twice, to read the charcoal filter
operating hours. The charcoal filter
symbol
lights up.
One or more of the fan power level
indicators will flash.
The number of fan power level
indicators flashing shows the
percentage of the operating time which
has already been used up.

The number of operating hours used
remains in the memory, even when the
cooker hood is switched off or there is
a power cut.
Grease filter(s)
Fire hazard
An oversaturated grease filter is a fire
hazard.
Clean the grease filter at regular
intervals.
The re-usable metal grease filter in the
appliance remove solid particles from
the kitchen vapours (grease, dust, etc.),
preventing soiling of the cooker hood.
The grease filter must be cleaned at
regular intervals.
A heavily soiled grease filter hinders
air extraction and will lead to
increased levels of soiling in the
cooker hood and in the kitchen.
Cleaning interval
Accumulated grease solidifies over a
longer period of time and makes
cleaning more difficult. The grease
filter(s) should therefore be cleaned at
least every 3 to 4 weeks.
The operating hours counter reminds
you to regularly clean the grease filter
by illuminating the grease filter
symbol
.
