MAINTENANCE
Before cleaning, switch the unit off and disconnect the electrical supply.
I.
Regular Cleaning
Use a soft cloth moistened with hand-warm mildly soapy water or household
cleaning detergent. Never use metal pads, chemical, abrasive material or stiff brush
to clean the unit.
II.
Monthly Cleaning for Grease Filter
ESSENTIAL: Cleaning the filters every month can prevent risk of fire.
The filters collect grease, smoke and dust. If they are not cleaned regularly, the
grease residue (potentially flammable) will saturate the filter and cause a reduction
in airflow. Clean it with household cleaning detergent.
III.
Annual Cleaning for Activated Carbon Filter
This applies SOLELY to units that have been installed with a recirculating kit (no
exterior ventilation.) This filter traps odors and must be replaced at least once a year
depending on how frequently the cooker hood used.
IV.
Heat Sensor
Make sure to clean the heat sensor regularly to ensure correct operation.
