DANGER
Always switch off the electricity supply at the mains
during installation, cleaning and maintenance such
as for light bulb replacement.
NOTE
The efficiency of the range hood depends on the
cleanliness of the intake and filters. Grease should
not be allowed to accumulate on hood or filter.
• Clean the appliance in the following intervals:
Regularly
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
appliance.
Monthly
Metallic anti-grease filter:
The filter collects
grease, smoke and dust so the filter is directly
affecting the efficiency of the range hood. If
not cleaned, the grease residue (potential
flammable) will saturate on the filter. Clean it
with household cleaning detergent. The filter
is dishwasher safe.
Recirculator:
clean the ventilation openings
on the top sides.
