MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
•
Always disconnect the power before cleaning.
•
The hood must be cleaned regularly to ensure optimal operation and long service life.
•
Grease and dust debris collect in the filter and may risk igniting with insufficient cleaning.
•
The hood should be cleaned inside and out frequently to avoid grease stains on walls or other surfaces.
DAILY cLEANING
•
For cupboard-integrated, free-hanging and wall-mounted hoods, Thermex recommends that the grease filter be wiped with a damp cloth
after each cooking session. It requires very little effort every day to keep your cooker hood clean and effective.
•
Steel surfaces are cleaned with a damp cloth and detergent, and finished with a metal polish (can be purchased with the item number
499.99.9999.9).
•
Lacquered surfaces should be cleaned with a damp cloth with detergent/washing-up liquid. Abrasives must never be used.
cLEANING THE GREASE FILTERS
Grease filters should be cleaned as needed. Thermex recommends as a minimum that the filter be cleaned at the following intervals, depending
on the fat used for frying:
•
Frying margarine - filter cleaned every 3 weeks
•
Liquid margarine - filter cleaned every 2 weeks
•
Oil - the filter must be cleaned once per week
•
Deep fat frying - filter cleaned 2-3 times per week
The grease filters are cleaned in the following way:
NOTE: The filters can also be washed in the dishwasher. Please note, however, that machine washing can result in discolouration of the filters.
Discolouration of the filters does not affect performance.
THE REcIRcULATION FILTERS
Be aware that recirculation filters for use without ventilation have a limited lifetime. These annot be cleaned, and must therefore be replaced
regularly.
Thermex recommends that the recirculation filters are changed a MINIMUM of twice yearly, but please note that the lifetime of a recirculation
filter varies depending on the hood’s use.
Remove the filter from the hood.
