Cleaning Your Rangehood

IMPORTANT: BEFORE CLEANING, ALWAYS ENSURE THAT THE RANGEHOOD IS
DISCONNECTED FROM THE MAIN POWER SUPPLY. ENSURE THAT THE RANGEHOOD IS
SWITCHED OFF AT THE WALL SOCKET AND THE PLUG REMOVED.
Clean the external parts of your rangehood with mild liquid detergent and a new damp

cloth.
External surfaces are susceptible to scratches and abrasions; do not use abrasive

powder, corrosive solvents or brushes.
Clean the stainless steel regularly with a dry clean cloth and/or a specialized stainless

steel cleaner to ensure a long use expectancy.
Clean the control panel with warm soapy water on a damp cloth. Remove any excess

moisture with a dry soft cloth. Don't use detergents or products containing abrasives as it
may remove the control panel and will void manufactures warrantee.
Never insert pointed objects into the motor's protective grid

Only clean the control panel and grease filter grill with mild liquid detergents and a new

damp cloth.
If you are using the appliance in recirculation mode, then be sure to replace the

charcoal filters at the recommended interval (see section on "Fitting the charcoal filter"
on page 23). A buildup of grease could cause a fire hazard.
Never attempt to clean the area above the grease filter.

The Grease filter
Your rangehood includes a grease filter which helps to absorb grease particles to protect

your kitchen and furniture from greasy residues.
These metallic filters may become flammable if it becomes saturated with greasy

residue.
To prevent this fire hazard, the grease filter should be cleaned regularly. Depending on

use, this should be done every 10 – 15 days or at least once a month, using hot water
and normal washing-up detergent.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT WASH THE GREASE FILTERS IN A DISHWASHER BECAUSE WHILE
THEY ARE DISHAWASHER SAFE, CHEMICALS FROM DISHWASHING DETERGENT CAN
CAUSE DAMAGE.
