Filters
• For this appliance to function effectively, regular maintenance is a must.
•
The function of the filter is to absorb the grease particles emitted during cooking.
•
Blocked filters and heavy oil deposits restrict airflow and may cause the motor to overheat and
become a fire hazard.
• Filters should be cleaned every 3-6 weeks or after 40 hours of use.
• Disconnect the electrical connection before any maintenance or cleaning processes are carried out.
•
To remove the filter pull the clip gently down until it disengages. To replace, perform the same
operation but in reverse, making sure the back two tabs of the filter are lined up with the rangehood.
•
In ceiling-mounted rangehoods, the doors or glass must be opened before accessing the filters.
• For an induction cooktop, please aim to clean them at least every 10 days, depending on use.
•
The filters can be washed by hand or in the dishwasher
Washing by hand -
Immerse the filter in hot water and a suitable detergent and when clean, rinse
with plenty of hot water.
Dishwasher -
Put the filter in the dishwasher and select a short program at low temperature.
NOTE:
The colour of the metal mesh filters may change after several washes. This is normal and it is
not necessary to change the filters.
