Cleaning the housing
Take care that no water gets into the housing of the appliance! If water gets into

fuse or switch off the circuit breaker. Cleaning the outside/inside

Take care not to damage the filter.
Cleaning
The grease filters must be cleaned at least once a month with normal use or whenever
the indicator light flashes. If properly cared for, the service life of the grease filters
should be as long as the service life of the hood.
▸ Clean the grease filters (grip facing downwards) in the dishwasher.
▸ Select an «intensive» – or «heavy soiling» – wash programme with a warm pre-wash.
Cleaning may cause the grease filters to become discoloured. This will not affect
the functioning of the filters in any way.
