Maintenance; Cleaning The Filter; Cleaning The Hood - Sirius Range Hoods SU1 Installation Instructions Manual

SU Models only: Filter requires washing
indicator After 30 hours of use, all the
buttons will light up to remind you that
the grease filter should be cleaned. Fol-
low the instructions for cleaning filters
in this booklet. Once the grease filters
have been cleaned and replaced, reset by
pressing the timer button (F).
Do not rely solely on this indicator
– generally, the grease filter should be
washed on a regular basis to avoid grea-
se filter fires.
The blower should be turned on for ap-
proximately 5 minutes before cooking
in order to establish air currents upward
through the hood.
The range hood should provide many
years of trouble free use provided it is
properly maintained. Be sure the lights
are cool before cleaning the hood – they
are halogen and become extremely hot.

Cleaning the Filter.

The aluminium mesh filters should be
washed by hand or in the dishwasher as
required. Damaged and worn filters must
be replaced immediately. (Do not opera-
te blower when filters have been remo-
ved). Allow filters to dry before replacing
them, otherwise water will be drawn into
the blower.
If a carbon filter has been fitted, this
must be replaced every 6 months as a
minimum, depending on usage and type
of cooking that is performed.
It is suggested that a spare set of car-
bon filters is kept on hand. These can be
ordered from the supplier of your range
hood.

Use the low speeds for normal use and
the higher speeds for strong odors and
fumes.

Cleaning the Hood

The outside and interior of your hood
should be wiped regularly with a clean,
damp cloth and mild household dish de-
tergent or degreaser.
Use a good quality non-abrasive foaming
type stainless steel cleaner for exterior
surfaces.
Follow the manufacturers directions. Ge-
nerally the foam is sprayed onto a clean
dry cloth and then applied to the stainless
steel. Allow the foam to react on the sur-
face for a few minutes and then wipe with
a clean dry cloth.
On the surfaces that are exposed directly
to heat from the cook-top, it is advisable
to clean these regularly to avoid the de-
posits from becoming baked on.
Do not use abrasive cleaning agents as
these will destroy the brushed finish.
