Cleaning and care
Cleaning the surfaces
Danger due to electric shock! Discon-
nect the extractor hood from the power
supply by pulling the plug out of the
socket or by switching off the fuse.
When cleaning, make sure that no wa-
ter penetrates the device. Regular
cleaning of the surface saves laborious
removal of stubborn contamination.
Only use conventional detergents or
universal cleaning agents suitable for
cleaning stainless steel/aluminium. Nev-
er use abrasive cleaning agents or steel
wool. After cleaning the hood, treat the
stainless steel surfaces with a stainless
steel care product. Painted surfaces
should only be cleaned using a mild
detergent solution and a very soft cloth.
Only use a soft damp cloth to clean the
operating panel.
On hoods fitted with a panel below the
filter (edge extraction), grease deposits
occur at the edge of the panel. These
deposits occur for physical reasons and
are not due to a malfunction of the
hood. Please clean the panel under-
neath the filter regularly to prevent the
formation of stubborn residues.
Cleaning and care instructions
When cleaning the grease filters, also
remove any grease deposits from the
accessible housing components. This
will prevent a fire hazard and maintain
an optimum range of functions. Use hot
soapy water or a mild window cleaning
agent to clean the hood. Do not scratch
off baked-on deposits. Soften them us-
ing a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive
agents or scouring pads.
Note: Do not use alcohol (spirits) on
plastic surfaces, as dull spots may re-
sult.
Caution: Ventilate the kitchen suffi-
ciently, no open flame.
Only clean the operating panel with a
soft damp cloth (mild detergent solu-
tion). Do not use stainless steel clean-
ers for the sliding switch/pressure
switch.
Stainless steel surfaces:
Use a mild and non-abrasive stainless
steel cleaning agent. Do not clean stain-
less steel surfaces with abrasive scour-
ing pads or with cleaning agents con-
taining sand, soda, acid or chloride!
Clean in direction of polish only.
Use a soft micro fibre cloth. Do not use
dry cloths. Use a mild window-cleaning
agent. Do not use aggressive cleaning
agents or agents containing acid or lye!
Do not use scouring agents.
Cleaning the grease filter
Fire hazard!
The performance of the extractor hood
is impaired by greasy residues and the
fire hazard is increased by the deposits.
To prevent the risk of fire, we recom-
mend regular cleaning of the metal filter.
With the glass panel open, hold the met-
al filter by the filter grips and pull down
until the magnetic contact releases. Now
pull the metal filter out towards the front.
Filter installation in reverse order. The
necessary cleaning of the grease filter is
also indicated by the LED display after
15 operating hours, the red LED on the
roof unit begins to light up – then please
clean the filter.
To reset the filter cleaning indicator,
the hood must first be switched on
and only then can the filter cleaning
indicator be reset by pressing the
ON/OFF button.
Metal filters are best cleaned in the dish-
washer using a gentle detergent. The
manufacturer does not assume any
guarantee
whatsoever
for
any
discolouration caused by the use of
aggressive
cleaning
agents.
Temperatures exceeding 55 degrees
must also be avoided.
