Maintenance, Cleaning and Care
It is absolutely essential to have your cooker hood regularly serviced in order to
ensure that it operates efficiently for a long time. When the metal grease filter is
clogged with particles of grease and dirt it will not work properly.
The charcoal filter (only used for the circulation mode) cannot be rinsed or
regenerated and must therefore be replaced at regular intervals. You can order
replacement charcoal filters from your specialist dealer or from our spare-parts
service.
Important!
Pull the mains plug out of the socket or switch off the relevant safety fuse
in the fuse box for the building when carrying out any maintenance or cleaning work.
The cooker hood may not be cleaned with a steam cleaner.
Housing
Only clean the surfaces and control elements with a sponge cloth, detergent and
water as they are very sensitive to scratches and cuts.
When you have removed the metal grease filter, clean the accessible metal surfaces
in the interior of the cooker hood. When doing so make sure that you only use a little
liquid when working on the interior of the cooker hood or when cleaning it.
Do not use any acidic cleaning agents, agents containing solvents or abrasive agents
such as scouring powder or liquid scouring cleaner; use only detergents and cleaning
agents which are intended for stainless steel.
In the case of models IKD3850.0E und IKD4850.0E / IKD4850.0GE you will need to
fold down the flaps of the edge suction system (Fig. 6 / Fig. 6.1) before you can
remove the filters.
