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.
To clean the aluminium fi lters:
1 Open the panel (1).
2 Remove the brackets from the housing (2).
3 Pull the fi lter out of the cooker hood (3).
4 Wash the fi lter in warm, soapy water or in a dishwasher
and dry it.
5 Replace the fi lter in the cooker hood
and press into position.
6 Replace the brackets in the housing.
7 Close the panel.
The fi lters may discolour after a few
washes. This is normal and does not
mean they have to be replaced.

Long Life Filters

Long life fi lters are designed to absorb grease, dust and
unwanted odours during cooking. Unlike traditional charcoal
fi lters these 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 (1).
2 Remove the brackets from the housing (2).
3 Pull the fi lter out of the cooker hood (3).
4 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.
With regular cleaning and reactivation, these charcoal fi lters
will retain their odour-absorbing capacity for approximately
three years before they need to be replaced.
Replacement fi lters should be bought from authorised dealers.
