Cleaning
WARNING!
Important! For all maintenance, first, switch off the mains power to the cooker hood by pulling
the plug out of the socket or by turning off the home's master switch. The hood needs to be
cleaned regularly, both inside as well as outside (at least as often as the grease filter).
Do not use abrasive cleaning products. Do not use alcohol!
If the instructions regarding cleaning the appliance or replacing the filters are not followed, this
can cause a fire. These instructions must be followed! The manufacturer is not liable for damage
to the hood or fire damage resulting from incompetent maintenance or from non-adherence to
the safety instruction above.
Cooker hood
Clean the cooker hood with soapy water and a soft cloth.
Then rinse with clean water. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents such as caustic soda. The cooker
hood finish stays in good condition if it is buffed periodically following the application of wax.
NOTE!
Stainless steel cooker hoods
Do not use scouring pads or other abrasive cleaners on stainless steel cooker hoods. Finish with
a non-abrasive, non-polishing agent and buff the stainless steel in the direction of the grain.
Metal grease filters
Metal grease filters should be cleaned once a month (or when indicated by the filter cleaning indicator
– if present on the model) using a neutral cleaning agent, either by hand or in the dishwasher on a
short, low-temperature program. Place the grease filters with the openings facing downwards in the
dishwasher so the water can drain out of the filter. Aluminium grease filters become dull as a result
of dishwasher cleaning agents. This is normal and does not effect the working.
Cleaning
The filters can be cleaned in the dishwasher. Allow the filters to drain well before replacing.
The filters can also be cleaned by hand.
Clean the filters in soapy water with washing up liquid and rinse. Allow the filters to drain well. The
underside of the cooker hood can be cleaned with a mild cleaning agent and a damp cloth. Dry off
with a paper towel.
Replacing cassette filter
The filter should be placed with the locking mechanism on the front. Open the filter access latch.
The notches at the front of the filter will then slot in. Hold the access latch in this position when placing
the filters.
1. Slot the notches at the back of the filter in the specially designed opening of the cooker hood.
2. Tilt the filter upwards.
3. Release the filter access hatch. The notches at the back of the filter will extend outwards and
slot into the specially designed openings of the cooker hood.
