Cleaning and maintenance
General Maintenance
Switch off the rangehood before cleaning or maintenance.
To prevent surface damage never use abrasive or oil based liquid cleaners. To clean the
surfaces of the appliance, use mild detergent and warm water. In areas of high humidity
and coastal environments cleaning should be carried out frequently.
Warning: a build-up of oil may occur if the undermount rangehood is not cleaned regularly.
Filter Maintenance
To maintain efficiency, the filters should be removed regularly (approximately monthly), and washed using hot
soapy water or the dishwasher.
Some discolouration of the filter frame may occur if washed in the dishwasher.
Rangehoods fitted with charcoal filters are designed to remove grease and
odours from cooking vapours prior to the cleansed air re-entering the kitchen
(when the rangehood is in recirculation mode). Charcoal filters should be
replaced every two to four months depending on use. Fit by first
disconnecting the rangehood from the power source and then removing the
aluminium filters. Place the carbon filters on the sides of the range hood
motor, twist clockwise to fix in place (anti-clockwise to remove old filters),
replace the aluminium filters and reconnect to power.
Fully saturated charcoal filters can become a barrier to air movement therefore limiting rangehood
performance. In the event of fire, grease laden filters could be flammable and therefore regular
replacement is recommended. In ducted installations, conventional aluminium filters are recommended.
Removal of Filters
To remove the aluminium filters, push in the latch at the handle, lower the filter down and remove. To install,
repeat the operation in reverse.
RHWC90TB & RHWC90X have 3 filters. RHWC90TG & RHWC60TG have 2 filters.
Replacement of LED Lamps
The LED lamps cannot be replaced by the consumer. If any faults occur, please ring your nearest Service
Department.
