MAINTENANCE
Before cleaning, switch the unit off and pull out the plug, or switch off at the
relevant mains switch if the unit has been hard-wired in. Make sure the unit has
no power being fed to it.
I.
Regular Cleaning
Use a soft cloth moistened with hand-warm mildly soapy water or household
cleaning detergent. Never use metal pads, chemical, abrasive material or a stiff
brush to clean the unit. Do not use a steam-cleaner to clean the hood; electrical
components could be damaged or short-circuit as a result.
II.
Monthly Cleaning for metallic anti-grease filter
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 Installation section. 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.
Replacement grease filters are available from the same stockist from where you
purchased the hood:
60cm models: eiQAL52C160 x 1
90cm models: eiQAL52C190 x 1
III. Replacement for Activated Carbon Filter
These are only required in units that have been installed in recirculation mode
(not vented to the outside). These filters trap odours and must be replaced at
ideally every 3-6 months depending on how frequently the cooker hood has been
used.
