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. Make sure the unit has no power being
fed to it.
Regular Cleaning
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 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.
The grease filter may also be cleaned in a dishwasher 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 for Activated Carbon Filter
These are only required in units that have been installed in recirculation mode. This
filter traps odours and must be replaced ideally every 3-6 months depending on how
frequently the cooker hood has been used. They are not washable or reusable.
