Care and maintenance
IMPORTANT: DO NOT PERFORM MAINTENANCE OR CLEANING
OF THE EXTRACTOR WITHOUT FIRST SWITCHING OFF THE
ELECTRICITY SUPPLY.
Cleaning
You should use a non-abrasive cleaner. Any abrasive cleaner
(including Cif) will scratch the surface and could erase the control
panel markings.
You can clean your extractor effectively by simply using a dilute
solution of water and mild detergent and drying to a shine with a
clean cloth.
IMPORTANT:
Always protect surfaces immediately beneath the extractor (such
as a hob) with clean, dry towels or similar cushioning items before
carrying out any cleaning or maintenance in case of falling parts/
items.
Removing and cleaning the grease filter
The grease filter should be kept clean to minimise the risk of fire.
At least once a month you should remove and clean the grease
filter with hot soapy water. You can also wash the grease filter in a
dishwasher, ensuring that you place it in an upright position to prevent
damage from other items in the dishwasher. After rinsing and drying,
replace the filter.
Cleaning the grease filter in the dishwasher may
lead to discolouration. This is normal and does not constitute a
fault with the appliance.
