supply before beginning any maintenance work.
Cleaning the hood
Clean the outside of the hood using a damp cloth and a mild deter-
gent.
Never use corrosive, abrasive or flammable cleaning products.
Never insert pointed objects in the motors protective grid.
Wash the outside surfaces using a delicate detergent solution.
Never use caustic detergents or abrasive brushes or powders.
Only ever clean the switch panel and filter grille using a damp cloth
and delicate detergents.
It is extremely important to clean the unit and change the filters at
the recommended intervals. Failure to do so will cause grease
deposits to build up that could constitute a fire hazard.

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.

Place grease filters in the dishwasher. Select
most powerful washing programme and highest
temperature, at least 65°C. Repeat the process.

When washing the metal grease filter in the
dishwasher a slight discolouration of the filter can occur, this does
