CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Before cleaning, switch the unit off and disconnect the power.
Use a soft cloth moistened with mild soapy water or household cleaning detergent.
Never use metal pads, chemicals, abrasive material or stiff brushes to clean the
unit.
NOTE
: Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the hood as electrical components
could be damaged or short-circuit as a result.
MONTHLY CLEANING FOR METALLIC ANTI-GREASE FILTER
IMPORTANT NOTE: Clean the filter every month; an excessive build-up of grease
can become a fire hazard. The filter collects grease, smoke and dust, so the filter
directly affects the efficiency of the cooker hood. If it’s not cleaned, the grease
residue (potentially flammable) will saturate on the filter.
Clean it with a soft nylon brush in a mild solution of warm water and a small amount
of washing up liquid. Washing up liquid alone should not be used. After cleaning,
allow the filter to drain and then dry thoroughly.
The grease filter may also be cleaned in a dishwasher; using a 60°C program, with
the filter upright (short sides upright) in the lower basket. Please be aware some
dishwasher cleaning agents can permanently discolour the filter, though this will not
affect its performance.
Replacement grease filters are of the universal type available from many household
and DIY stores.
STAINLESS STEEL
The stainless steel must be cleaned regularly (e.g. weekly) to ensure long life
expectancy.
Dry with a clean soft cloth. A specialised stainless-steel cleaning fluid may be used.
Ensure that wiping is done along with the grain of the stainless steel to prevent any
unsightly crisscross scratching patterns from appearing.
CONTROL PANEL SURFACE
The control panel inlay can be cleaned using warm soapy water. Ensure the cloth is
clean and well wrung before cleaning. Use a dry soft cloth to remove any excess
moisture left after cleaning.
Using neutral detergents and avoid using harsh cleaning chemicals, strong
household detergents or products containing abrasives, as this will affect the
appliance appearance and potentially remove any printing of artwork on the control
panel and will void manufactures warranty.
