IMPORTANT:-
The hood must always be disconnected from the
electricity supply before beginning any maintenance
work.

Cleaning the hood

• Clean the outside of the hood using a damp cloth and a
solution of water and mild washing up liquid.
• Never use corrosive, abrasive or flammable cleaning
products or products containing bleach.
• Never insert pointed objects in the motor's protective grid.
• Only ever clean the switch panel and filter grill using a
damp cloth and mild washing up liquid.
• It is extremely important to clean the unit and change the
filters at the recommended intervals. Failure to do so will
cause grease deposits to build up that could constitute a
fire hazard.

particles which form during cooking and it must always be

Hand washing
Soak grease filters for about one hour in hot water with a
grease-loosening cleaner, then rinse off thoroughly with hot
water. Repeat the process if necessary. Refit the grease
filters when they are dry.
Dishwasher
Place grease filters in the dishwasher. Select most powerful
washing programme and highest temperature, at least 65°C.
Repeat the process. Refit the grease filters when they are
dry. When washing the metal grease filter in the dishwasher a
slight discolouration of the filter can occur, this does not have
any impact on its performance.
