Fig. 15

Circulating air mode

The activated charcoal filter eliminates kitchen
smells in the circulating air mode. In normal use
(1 to 2 hours daily), the activated charcoal filter
must be replaced approximately once a year.
If no activated charcoal filter is installed, kitchen
smells will not be eliminated.
Replacing the activated charcoal filter
remove the stainless steel grease filters. Push in the
clips on the side of the activated charcoal filter and
remove the activated charcoal filter downwardly.
Push the clips to the side and remove the activated
charcoal filter towards the front.
Insert the activated charcoal filter at an angle. Then
push the filter upwards, until the clips on the side
lock into place. Re-insert the stainless steel grease
filters.
Activated charcoal filters (KF 001-010) are available
through your specialist dealer. Only use original
filters.
Activated charcoal filters do not contain any
dangerous substances. They can be disposed of
through the household refuse collection.

Cleaning the extractor hood

Clean the exterior of your extractor hood with a soft
cloth and mild detergent solution. Do not use any
strong, caustic or abrasive cleaning agents. Do not
use any abrasive sponges or brushes either.
Clean the stainless-steel extractor hood with
stainless steel cleaner.
Cleaning the glass plates
Apply commercially available window cleaning
agent with a soft, moist cloth. To facilitate cleaning,
you can detach the glass plates as follows:
Detach the grease filters. In the extractor hood, you
will find three openings on the upper side through
which you can lift the glass plates singly with a
blunt object (e.g. handle of a wooden spoon) to
detach them with greater ease.
If they are extremely soiled, the glass plates can be
cleaned in a dishwasher at a maximum temperature
of 130 °F / 55 °C.
Note: when putting the glass plates back in place,
make sure that you do not scratch the chimney.
Replace the glass plates with the printed side
facing down. Position the glass plates at the
chimney side first.
Cleaning the aluminium panel
Clean the control panel with a sponge and mild
detergent solution only. Dry with a soft, dry cloth. Do
not use any strong or caustic cleaning agents or
brushes and abrasive cleaner to clean it. Do not use
strongly alkaline cleaning agents (such as oven
spray) because these are aggressive to the
aluminium surface. Do not use any abrasive
sponges either.
