CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Beware!
Before performing any cleaning or maintenance operation, isolate the hood from the electrical
supply by switching off at the connector and removing the connector fuse. Or if the appliance has been
connected through a plug and socket, then the plug must be removed from the socket.
The cooker hood should be cleaned regularly internally and externally (about once a month). Clean using
the cloth dampened with neutral liquid detergent. Do not use abrasive products. DO NOT USE
ALCOHOL!
WARNING: Failure to carry out the basic cleaning recommendations of the cooker hood and
replacement of the filters may cause fire risks.
Cleaning the external surface
•
To protect the external surface of the hood from corrosion over a long period of time, it should be
cleaned with hot water plus non corrosive detergent every two months.
•
Keep the motor and other parts free from water, as this will cause damage to the appliance.
•
The charcoal filter shall not be exposed to heat.
Cleaning the grease filter
The grease filters trap cooking grease particles.
It must be cleaned once a month using non
aggressive detergents, either by hand or in the
dishwasher, which must be set to a low temperature
and a short cycle.
When washed in a dishwasher, the grease filter may
discolour slightly, but this does not affect its filtering
capacity.
To remove the grease filter, pull the spring release
handle.
