Maintenance and cleaning

Before doing any maintenance work on the hood,
disconnect it from the main supply by
disconnecting the plug from the wall socket or
unscrewing the fuse.
Cleaning the hood
Clean the outside of the hood using a damp cloth and a
mild detergent. Never use corrosive, abrasive or flammable
cleaning products.
Cleaning the grease filters
Clean the filter every month or every other month according
to how much the hood is used. The cleaner the filters, the
better it collects grease. Remove the filter by (Fig. 2):
• Push the handle towards the rear of the hood (a).
• Pull the filter down at the front and remove it forwards
(b).
The filter is made of aluminium wires on which the grease
collects. Clean the filter in hot water using a detergent, or in
a dishwasher. Let the filter dry before putting it back. Note
that a dishwasher may discolour the filter.
Cleaning/replacing the carbon filter
Only applicable for recirculation. The carbon filters absorb
smells and odours.
Unlike other carbon filters, the TYPE 23 carbon filter can be
cleaned and reactivated. At normal use the filter should be
cleaned every second month. The best way to clean the filter
is in the dishwasher. Use normal detergent and choose the
highest temperature (65º C). Wash the filter separately so that
no food parts gets stuck on the filter and later causes bad odours.
To reactivate the carbon, the filter should be dried in an oven
for 10 minutes with a temperature of maximum 100ºC.
After approximately three years of use, the TYPE 23 filter
should be replaced with a new, as the odour reduction capacity
will be reduced.
Mounting the carbon filter (Fig. 2):
• Unplug the unit or disconnect it from the power supply
• Remove the metal grease filters. Fig. 1.
• Unscrew the two carbon filter frame screws and insert the
active carbon filter in the support.
• Re-close the carbon filter frame using the same screws.
• Refit the metal grease filters.
To dismount proceed in reverse order.
Changing the light
Disconnect the cooker hood from the main supply before
changing the light.
• Remove the metal grease filter. Fig. 1.
• Remove the screw holding the lamp shade and remove
the lamp shade itself. Fig. 4.
• Replace the old light bulb with a new light bulb of the
same kind.
• Replace and fix the lamp shade
• Replace the grease filters
Clean the filter regularly. The grease that
collects in the filter and the duct could ignite
if a hot plate is left on (or if overheating
occurs).
