Care and Maintenance
NOTE:
Please ensure this rangehood is turned off at the power point before any care
and maintenance is carried out.
• It is recommended to commence the operation of the appliance prior to cooking.
• It is recommended to leave the appliance in operation for 15 minutes after cooking
is terminated in order to completely eliminate cooking vapours and odours.
• When the appliance is not in use, please turn off.
• Do not use if the appliance is damaged — especially the supply cord and the case.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service
agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
• Do not immerse the appliance in liquid.
• The exhaust air must not be discharged into a flue which is used for exhausting
fumes from an appliance burning gas or other fuels.
• Regulations concerning the discharge of air have to be fulfilled.
• The proper function of the cooker hood is conditioned by the regularity of the
maintenance operations, in particular, the active carbon filter.
• The filters are designed to capture the grease particles suspended in the air from
the cooking process, and must be maintained as per below to avoid clogging
(depending on the frequency of the use of the appliance).
- In order to prevent a fire hazard, it is recommended to clean the filter
at least every 2 months by carrying out the following:
-
Remove the filters from the cooker hood and wash them in a solution of
water and neutral liquid detergent, leaving to soak.
-
Rinse thoroughly with warm water and leave to dry.
-
The filters may also be washed in the dishwasher.
• The aluminum panels may alter in color after several washes. This is normal under
correct use and is not cause for customer concern or replacement of panels.
• Clean the fan and other surface of the cooker hood regularly using cloth moistened
with denatured alcohol of non abrasive liquid detergent.
• Before any repair on the cooker hood, detach all plugs.
• Replace carbon filters approximately every 4 months.
