Filter requires washing indicator: after 30 hours
of use, all the buttons will light up to remind
you that the grease filter should be cleaned.
Follow the instructions for cleaning filters in
this booklet. Once the grease filters have been
cleaned and replaced, reset by pressing the timer
button (F). Do not rely solely on this
indicator. Generally, the grease filter should
be washed on a regular basis to avoid grease
filter fires.
The blower should be turned on for approximately
5 minutes before cooking in order to establish air
currents upward through the hood. Use the low
speeds for normal use and the higher speeds for
strong odors and fumes.
MAINTENANCE
The hood<fan should provide many years of trouble
free service provided it is maintained properly.
Cleaning the Filter.
Clean the grease filter either by carefully hand
washing, (so as not to damage the filter design)
or, preferably in a dishwasher. Depending on use,
the filters should be cleaned at least every two
weeks in a dishwasher.
If a carbon filter has been fitted this must be
replaced at least every 6 months as a minimum.
Depending on cooking style and nature of
cooking (greasy foods, fry’s, curries etc) would
probably require more frequent replacement – if
odors start to manifest themselves when cooking it
is time to replace the carbon filter . We suggest
you retain a spare set. These can be ordered from
the supplier of your range hood.
Cleaning the Hood.
Cleaning of the internal parts should be done with
a clean damp (not excessively wet) cloth
together with regular household detergent. The
external stainless steel elements should be
cleaned with a good quality foaming stainless
steel cleaner. Read the manufacturers directions.
Generally they recommend that the foam be sprayed
onto a clean dry cloth and then applied to the
stainless steel. Allow the foam to react on the
surface for a few minutes and then wipe with a
clean dry cloth.
On the surfaces that are exposed directly to heat
from the cook<top, it is advisable to clean these
on a regular basis to avoid the marks from
becoming baked on.
Do not under any circumstances use an abrasive
type cleaner as this will scratch and damage the
stainless steel finish. Glass components should be
cleaned with a product such as Windex.
