4. Care and cleaning
4.1 Changing the grease filter
• Change
paper grease filters monthly.
• Change
paper grease filters with
alarm everytwo months or when the
colour of the surface becomes visible
through the mesh openings. This filter
is coloured on one side; after fitting,
this colouring must not be visible
through the mesh openings.
Prior to any maintenance or cleaning
work, isolate the hood from the electrical
supply by:
pulling out the appliance connector plug
or tripping the house installation circuit
breaker or fully unscrew the screw type
fuse from the house installation
• The extractor hood is not to be clea
-
ned with a steam cleaner.
• Do not use cleaning agents containing
alcohol to clean appliances with a
matt black finish. These can lead to
discolouring.
• Non-compliance with the mainte
-
nance and cleaning instructions can
result in a fire hazard due to grease
deposits.
• The grease filters on your appliance
are to be cleaned or replaced at regu
-
lar intervals.
• Filters saturated with grease can
quickly catch fire and also distribute
unpleasant odours.
• Grease filters obstructed by dirt par
-
ticles seriously impair the appliance
function.
• When cleaning the area of the control
elements, take great care to prevent
water entering the electronics.
Special information for appliances
with a stainless steel casing
A commercially available non-abrasive
stainless steel cleaning agent should be
used for cleaning stainless steel surfaces.
Treatment with a stainless steel preser
-
vative is recommended to prevent sur
-
faces becoming quickly re-soiled. Apply
the agent all over and economically
using a soft cloth.
Never use stainless steel cleaning
agents in the vicinity of the control
elements.
When cleaning metal grease filters take
care not to damage the mesh. Frequent
cleaning or the use of aggressive cleaning
agents can cause colour changes to the
metal surface. These do not affect the
filter function and are not grounds for
complaint.
