MAINTAINING yOUR RANGEHOOD
WARNING
IMpORTANT: The hood must always be disconnected from the
electricity supply before beginning any maintenenace work.
Cleaning the hood
• Clean the outside of the hood using a damp cloth and
a solution of water and mild washing up liquid.
• Never use corrosive, abrasive or flammable cleaning
products or products containing bleach.
• Never insert pointed objects in the motor’s
protective grid.
• Only ever clean the switch panel and filter grill using a
damp cloth and mild washing up liquid.
• It is extremely important to clean the unit and change the
filters at the recommended intervals. Failure to do so will
cause grease deposits that could cause a fire.
NOTE: The metal grease filters must be removed and
washed, either by hand or in the dishwasher, at least
every four weeks.
Removing the metal grease filters
• Push the grease filter towards the left side of the unit and
then pull it down.
Hand washing
Soak grease filters for about one hour in hot water with a
grease-loosening cleaner, then rinse off thoroughly with hot
water. Repeat the process if necessary. Refit the grease filters
when they are dry.
Dishwasher
Place grease filters in the dishwasher. Select the most
powerful washing program and highest temperature, at
least 65°C. Repeat the process. Refit the grease filters when
they are dry. When washing the metal grease filter in the
dishwasher a slight discolouration of the filter can occur, this
does not have any impact on it’s performance.
Changing the light bulb
Ensure the appliance is switched off before carrying out
maintenance, to avoid any possibility of electric shock.
Remove grease filter to relace lamp. Replace with 50W
(maximum) GU10 halogen lamps.
.
Charcoal filter
• The charcoal filter should only be used if you want to use
the hood in the recirculation function.
• This filter cannot be cleaned or re-used and as a general
rule, the activated charcoal filter should be changed once
every four months.
Fitting the charcoal filter
Fit one charcoal filter on the left and one on the right so as
to cover the plastic grids that protect the fan wheel.
• Always specify the hood model code number and
serial number when ordering replacement filters. This
information is shown on the registration plate located on
the inside of this unit.
• Replacement charcoal filters can be ordered from your
local Service Centre.
