Care and Maintenance
IMPORTANT : DO NOT PERFORM MAINTENANCE OR CLEANING OF THE
EXTRACTOR WITHOUT FIRST SWITCHING OFF THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY.
Cleaning
You should use a nonabrasive cleaner. Any abrasive cleaner (including Cif) will
scratch the surface and could erase the control panel markings.
You can clean your extractor effectively by simply using a dilute solution of water
and mild detergent and drying to a shine with a clean cloth.
Cleaning the grease filter
The grease filter should be kept clean to minimise the risk of fire.
When the display flashes alternating the speed selected with the letter A, or
at least once a month you should remove and clean the grease filter with hot
soapy water. You can also wash the grease filter in a dishwasher, ensuring that
you place it in an upright position to prevent damage from other items in the
dishwasher. After rinsing and drying, replace the filter. After the grease filter
has been replaced, the electronic memory must be reset by touching key A for
approximately five seconds, until the letter A stops flashing.
To remove the grease filter pull open the handle on the grease filter as shown in
fig. 2. It will release at the handle side. Then lower the grease filter to remove it
completely.
To replace the grease filter, repeat the steps in reverse.
Please note:
Cleaning the grease filter in the dishwasher may lead to discolouration. This is
normal and does not constitute a fault with the appliance.
Changing the charcoal filter (re-circulating only)
When the display flashes alternating the speed selected with the letter F, the
charcoal filters must be replaced. After the charcoal filter has been replaced,
the electronic memory must be reset by touching key A for approximately five
seconds, until the letter F stops flashing.
To attach a new charcoal filter, first remove the grease filters as described above.
Then offer up the charcoal filter to the side of the motor as shown in figure 3 and
turn it clockwise until it locks into place. Repeat with the other charcoal filter on
the other side of the motor. Then replace the grease filters and cover panels.
