Cleaning and maintenance Always disconnect the hood from the power supply before carrying out cleaning and/or maintenance. Regular cleaning ensures that the appliance provides good performance and a long service life. Special attention should be paid to the grease filters and carbon filters. Note: The accumulation of grease inside the filter panels as well as affecting the performance of the extractor hood can also be a fire hazard.
Cleaning and maintenance REPLACING ODOUR FILTERS (filter version only) This type of filter retains odours until the material becomes saturated. They cannot be washed and cannot be regenerated. It is therefore recommended to replace them at least every six months or more frequently if the hood is used intensively.
