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:

• Press the handle Q that locks the grease filter N first towards the

opposite side and then extract downwards. Fig. 3.

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.

Carbon filter

• The activated carbon filter should only be used if you want to use

the hood in its filtering function.

• To do this you will need an original AEG activated carbon filter (see

special accessories).

• The carbon filters absorb smells and odours.
