Regular maintenance and cleaning will ensure good
performance and reliability, while extending the work-
ing life of the hood. Special attention should be taken to
keep the grease filter clean at all times and the charcoal

placed every three months. The metal grease filters
should be washed once a month in hot water using mild
detergent or liquid soap. It should not be bent and
should be left to dry before being refitted. The filter is
easily removed from grille by pushing the spring wire
clips to one side and removing.
