CLEANING MAINTENANCE
Before cleaning, switch the unit off and disconnect the power.
Use a soft cloth moistened with hand-warm mildly soapy water or household cleaning
detergent. Never use metal pads, chemicals, abrasive material or a stiff brush to clean the
unit.
Note! Do not use a steam-cleaner to clean the hood; electrical components could be
damaged or short-circuit as a result.
MONTHLY CLEANING FOR METALLIC ANTI-GREASE FILTER
ESSENTIAL NOTE: Clean the filter every month; an excessive build-up of grease can
become a fire hazard. The filter collects grease, smoke and dust, so the filter directly affects
the efficiency of the cooker hood. If it's not cleaned, the grease residue (potentially
flammable) will saturate on the filter.
Remove the filter as shown in the diagrams below:
Clean it with a soft nylon brush in a mild solution of warm water and a small amount of
washing up liquid. Washing up liquid alone should not be used. After cleaning, allow the
filter to drain and then dry thoroughly.
The grease filter may also be dishwasher cleaned; using a 60°C program, with the filter
upright (short sides upright) in the lower basket. Please be aware some dishwasher
cleaning agents can permanently discolour the filter, though this will not affect its
performance.
Replacement grease filters are of the universal type available from many household and
DIY stores.
