MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:

GREASE FILTERS

Metal grease filters have an unlimited life and should be washed once a month either by hand or in a
dishwasher at a low temperature and with a short cycle. Washing in a dishwasher can cause grease filters to
turn white, but this in no way affects efficiency.
Pull out the handle to remove the filter.
Wash the filter and leave it to dry, proceeding in reverse order to refit it.

REPLACING THE HALOGEN BULBS

IMPORTANT: Replace using 20W max G4 halogen bulbs only.
1. Disconnect the hood from the mains power supply.
2. Use a small screwdriver to gently prise (at the three points indicated) the lamp cover off.
3. Remove the burnt-out lamp and fit a new one.
4. Replace the lamp cover so that it clicks into position.
