Care, Cleaning and Servicing

Note: Switch off and unplug the cooker hood before carrying
out any cleaning or maintenance work.

Care and Cleaning

Clean the interior and exterior casing using a cloth with water
and mild (neutral) detergent.
Do not use abrasive cleaning materials or scouring pads when
cleaning the cooker hood as this may damage the stainless
steel fi nish.

Cleaning and Replacing Filters

This cooker hood is supplied with aluminium fi lters.

Aluminium Filters

Aluminium fi lters are designed to absorb grease and dust
during cooking. They should be removed and cleaned at least
once every two months, or more often if you regularly fry
food.
The fi lters may discolour after a few washes. This is normal
and does not mean they have to be replaced.
To clean the aluminium fi lters:
1 Open the panel (A).
2 Pull the fi lter out of the cooker hood (B).
3 Remove the fi lter from the holder (C).
4 Wash the fi lter in warm, soapy water or in a dishwasher
and dry it.
5 Replace the fi lter in the holder and replace it in the cooker
hood by pressing it into position.
6 Close the panel.

Charcoal Filters (Not Supplied)

Charcoal fi lters are designed to absorb grease, dust and
unwanted odours during cooking.
Non-regenerable charcoal fi lters must be replaced at least
every four months.
Unlike traditional charcoal fi lters, regenerable charcoal fi lters
can be washed and re-used approximately 12-15 times before
they have to be replaced. They should be washed at least
once every 2-3 months.
To clean the charcoal fi lters:
1 Open the panel (A).
2 Pull the fi lter out of the cooker hood (B).
3 Remove the fi lter from the holder (C).
4 Either replace the fi lter (if non-regenerable), or (if
regenerable) wash the fi lter in warm, soapy water or in a
dishwasher at the highest dishwasher temperature.
5 Dry the fi lter in the oven at 100°C for 10-15 minutes to
re-activate it.
6 Insert the reactivated fi lter in the cooker hood and press
into position.
7 Replace the brackets in the housing.
8 Close the panel.
Replacement fi lters should be bought from authorised dealers.
