Cleaning and Maintenance
Grease Filters
The re-usable metal grease filters in the appliance remove solid particles (grease, dust, etc.) from the kitchen
vapours, preventing soiling of the cooker hood.
The grease filters should be cleaned regularly (at least every 3-4 weeks) to avoid a build-up of grease.
•
Before any cleaning or maintenance work is carried out, disconnect the cooker hood from the
mains power supply. Ensure that:
– it is switched off at the isolator, or
– it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is withdrawn, or
– the fuse from the fused spur connection unit is withdrawn, or
– the mains fuse is disconnected.
•
The surfaces and controls are susceptible to scratches and abrasions. Please observe the following
cleaning instructions.
Only use a damp cloth as water could get into the unit and cause damage.
Do not use:
•
cleaning agents containing soda, acids, chlorides or solvents,
•
abrasive cleaning agents, e.g. powder cleaners or cream cleaners and abrasive sponges, as well as
pot scourers or sponges which have been used previously with abrasive cleaning agents as these
will damage the surface material.
•
Wipe dry using a soft cloth.
A dirty filter is a fire hazard.
To avoid damaging the filters or
the hob below, make sure you hold
the filters securely at all times when
handling them.
Do not use:
•
cleaning agents containing descaling agents,
•
powder cleaners, cream cleaners or abrasive all-purpose cleaners.
•
Oven cleaners.
Cleaning the Grease Filters by Hand
•
Clean the filters with a soft nylon brush in a mild solution of hot water and a little washing-up liquid. Do not
use “neat” washing up liquid.
