Cleaning Your Extractor

IMPORTANT: BEFORE CLEANING, ALWAYS ENSURE THAT YOU HAVE
SWITCHED YOUR EXTRACTOR OFF AT THE ISOLATION SWITCH, (FUSED SPUR)
ON THE WALL.
• Clean the external parts of your extractor with mild liquid detergent and
a new damp cloth.
• Never use abrasives, corrosive solvents or brushes.
• Never insert pointed objects into the motor's protective grid.
• Only clean the control panel and grease fi lter grill with mild liquid deter-
gents and a new damp cloth.
• If you are using the appliance in recirculation mode, then be sure to
replace the carbon fi lters every 3-6 months, see section on "Fitting the
carbon fi lter". A build up of grease could cause a fi re hazard.
• Never attempt to clean the area above the grease fi lters.
The Grease Filters
• Your extractor is fi tted with grease fi lters, which help to absorb grease
particles and protect your kitchen and furniture from greasy residues.
• These metallic fi lters may become infl ammable if you allow them to get
saturated with this greasy residue.
• To prevent this fi re hazard, the fi lters should be cleaned regularly.
Depending on use, this should be done at least once a month, using hot
water and normal washing-up detergent.
• DO NOT WASH THE GREASE FILTERS IN A DISHWASHER.
