Cleaning & Maintenance
Before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance activities, ensure that the
appliances is disconnected from the mains and follow the safety Instructions.
Filter Cleaning
To withdraw the filters from their locations release the anchoring points. Clean
the filter either putting in the dishwasher (refer to notes) or leaving it standing
in hot water to simplify the removal of grease or, if wished, by means of
special sprays (protecting the non metallic parts). Once clean, leave it to dry.
Notes: cleaning in the dishwasher with aggressive detergents may blacken
the surface of metallic parts, without this affecting its gas retaining properties.
The filter must be cleaned at least once a month depending on how often the
appliances is used. It must be remembered that grease is deposited in the
extractor when cooking, whether it is switched on or not.
Cleaning the appliances body
The use of (40ºC approx.) soapy water is recommended. A cloth moistened in
this water is used for cleaning the extractor, paying special attention to the
grids and dry it using a lint-free cloth.
Note: avoid using abrasive detergents, scourers, acidic cleaners such as lime
scale remover etc. as these could damage the surface and can result in the
development of rust and corrosion.
Do not use scrapers with metallic surfaces such as knives, scissors etc.

Vent System Requirements
Determine which venting method is best for your application. Vented (non-
recirculating) system must be terminate to the outside. Ductwork can extend
either through the wall or the roof. Do not terminate the vent system in an attic
or other enclosed area.
The length of the ductwork and the number of elbows should be kept to a
minimum to provide efficient performance. The size of the ductwork should be
uniform. Do not install two elbows together. Use duct tape to seal all joints in
the ductwork system. Use caulking to seal exterior wall or floor opening
around the cap.
Make sure there is proper clearance within the wall or floor for exhaust duct
before making cutouts. Do not cut a joist or stud unless absolutely necessary.
If a joist or stud must be cut, then a supporting frame must be constructed.
