maintenance and use of the extractor hood are not observed.
If the power cable is cut or damaged in any way, disconnect the extractor from the electricity supply and call
the service number on the rear cover of this booklet or a suitably

Wipe the external surfaces of the appliance regularly using a damp cloth and mild detergent. NEVER use
abrasive cleaners
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the hood; electrical components could be damaged or short-circuit as
a result
The Grease Filters
Clean the filter every month; an excessive build-up of grease can become a fire hazard. The filter collects
grease, smoke and dust.... so the filter directly affects the efficiency of the cooker hood. If it’s not cleaned,
the grease residue (potentially flammable) will saturate on the filter.
Remove the filter as shown in the Installation section. Clean it with a soft nylon brush in a mild solution of
warm water and a small amount of washing up liquid. Washing up liquid alone should not be used. After
cleaning, allow the filter to drain and the dry thoroughly.
The grease filter may also be dishwasher cleaned; using a 60 or 65 degree C programme, with the filter
upright (short sides upright) in the lower basket.. Please be aware some dishwasher cleaning agents can be
permanently discolour the filter, though this will not affect its performance.
