Maintenance and care
The hood must always be disconnected from the electricity supply before
beginning any maintenance work.
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.
Never insert pointed objects in the motors protective grid.
Wash the outside surfaces using a delicate detergent solution. Never use caustic
detergents or abrasive brushes or powders.
Only ever clean the switch panel and filter grille using a damp cloth and delicate
detergents.
It is extremely important to clean the unit and change the filters at the
recommended intervals. Failure to do so will cause grease deposits to build up
that could constitute a fire hazard.

the dishwasher, every four weeks.

Hand washing
Soak grease filters for about one hour in hot
water with a grease-loosening cleaner, then
rinse off thoroughly with hot water. Repeat the
process if necessary. Refit the grease filters
when they are dry.
Dishwasher
Place grease filters in the dishwasher. Select
most powerful washing programme and highest
temperature, at least 65°C. Repeat the process.
Refit the grease filters when they are dry.
When washing the metal grease filter in the dishwasher a slight discolouration of the
filter can occur, this does not have any impact on its performance.
