Maintenance - Whirlpool AKR 036/1 G BL Instructions For Use Manual

MAINTENANCE

Cleaning
Clean using ONLY a cloth dampened with neutral liquid
detergent. DO NOT CLEAN WITH TOOLS OR
INSTRUMENTS. Do not use abrasive products. DO NOT USE
ALCOHOL!
Perimeter aspiration panel
Clean the perimeter aspiration panel with the same frequency
as the anti-grease filter, using a cloth and not too
concentrated liquid detergent. Do not use abrasive
substances.
Maintenance of the anti-grease filters
Traps cooking grease particles.
The grease filter must be cleaned once a month using non
aggressive detergents, either by hand or in the dishwasher,
which must be set to a low temperature and a short cycle.
When washed in a dishwasher, the grease filter may discolor
slightly, but this does not affect its filtering capacity.
To remove the grease filter, pull the spring release handle.
Maintenance of the charcoal filter
It absorbs unpleasant odors caused by cooking.
Synthetic mat filter (supplied with the
product)
The charcoal filter can be washed once every two months (or
when the filter saturation indication system – if envisaged on
the model in possession – indicates this necessity) using hot
water and a suitable detergent, or in a dishwasher at 65°C (if
the dishwasher is used, select the full cycle function and leave
dishes out).
Eliminate excess water without damaging the filter, then put it
in the oven for 10 minutes at 100° C to dry completely.
Replace the mattress every 3 years and when the cloth is
damaged.
The synthetic mat filter can be replaced with the round
carbon filter.
Circular charcoal filter
Apply one on each side as cover to both the shield grids of the
motor impeller, then turn clockwise.
For the disassembly, turn counter-clockwise.
The saturation of the charcoal filter occurs after more or less
prolonged use, depending on the type of cooking and the
regularity of cleaning of the grease filter.
In any case it is necessary to replace the cartridge at least
every four months.
The charcoal filter may NOT be washed or regenerated.
Replacing lamps
The hood is equipped with a lighting system based on LED
technology.
The LEDs guarantee an optimum lighting, a duration up to 10
times longer than the traditional lamps and allow to save 90%
electrical energy.
To replace lights, contact authorised spare part center.
