FILTERS AND MAINTENANCE
2. Clean the filter.

Removing and inserting the metal
grease filters:
Warning: Avoid risk of burns. The
halogen bulbs must be switched off and
cool.
1. Pull the catch on the grease filters and
lower the grease filters.
At the same time take hold of the
underside of the grease filter with your
other hand.
Activated carbon filter:
For neutralizing odours in recirculating
mode.
Caution:
As the filter becomes more and more
saturated with grease, there is an increased
risk of fire and the function of the extractor
hood may be impaired.
Important:
Change the activated carbon filter promptly
to prevent the risk of fire from the
accumulation of heat when deep-fat frying
or roasting.
3. Engage the catch.
4. Insert the metal grease filters (see
"Removing and inserting the metal
grease filters").
Installation and removal:
Warning:
The halogen bulbs must be
switched off and cool.
1. Remove the metal-mesh filters
(see "Removing and inserting the metal-
mesh grease filters").
2. Insert the activated carbon filter.
Replacing the activated carbon filter:
❑ During normal operation (1 to 2 hours
per day) the activated carbon filters
should be replaced approximately 2 x
year.
❑ A replacement filter can be obtained
from any authorized dealer (see optional
accessories).
❑ Use original filters only.
By doing so you will obtain maximum
performance from your extractor hood.
Disposing of the old activated carbon
filter:
❑ There are no pollutants in the activated
carbon filters. They can therefore be
disposed of as part of your normal
domestic refuse.
CARE AND CLEANING
WARNING To avoid risk of fire
and explosion do not use flammable
liquids or solvents.
Always unplug or disconnect the
appliance from the power supply
before servicing.
IMPORTANT: Do not clean the hood with
abrasive sponges or with cleaning agents
which contain sand, soda, acid or chlorine!
❑ Clean the hood with a hot soap solution
or a mild window cleaner.
❑ Do not scrape off dried-on dirt but wipe
off with a damp cloth.
❑ When cleaning the grease filters, remove
grease deposits from accessible parts of
the housing.
This prevents the risk of fire and ensures
that the hood continues operating at
maximum efficiency.
❑ Note: Do not use alcohol (spirit) on
plastic surfaces, as dull marks may
appear.
Caution: Observe all instructions and
cautions provided with cleaners.
IMPORTANT: Clean the operating buttons
with a mild soapy solution and a soft, damp
cloth only.
Do not use stainless-steel cleaner to clean
the operating buttons.
Stainless steel surfaces:
❑ Use a mild non-abrasive stainless steel
cleaner.
❑ Clean the surface in the same direction
as it has been ground and polished.
❑ We recommend the stainless steel
cleaner Fantastik
®
or Formula 409
®
sprayed onto a paper towel.
Aluminum and plastic surfaces:
❑ Do not use dry cloths.
❑ Use a mild window cleaning agent.
❑ Do not use aggressive, acidic or caustic
cleaners.
Observe the warranty regulations in the
enclosed service booklet.
