Maintenance and cleaning
Disconnect the cooker hood from the power supply prior to
cleaning the appliance, either by removing the plug from the mains
or removing the fuse.
Clean the filter regularly. The grease deposits in the filter and
discharge tube are fire hazards where a hotplate (or another heat
source) is left on by error.
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 more grease they collect.
To remove the filters (Fig. 4):
• First of all, push the stop Q on the
metal grease filter N back, and
then extract the filter by pulling
downward. Fig. 4.
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.
Changing and cleaning the charcoal filter
The charcoal filter should only be used if you want to use the hood in
its filtering function. The charcoal filters absorb smells and odours.
Unlike other charcoal filters, the LONGLIFE charcoal 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 charcoal, the
filter should be dried in an oven for 10 minutes with a temperature of
maximum 100º C.
