MAINTENANCE
Regular maintenance is essential to ensure good performance and long-life.
To maintain the immaculate appearance of the hood, and to minimise fire risk, ensure that grease deposits
on the hood surfaces are kept to a minimum by regular cleaning.
To clean the stainless-steel surfaces of the hood, use a soft cloth and a suitable cleaning agent, such as
a specially produced stainless-steel cleaner or washing up detergent and warm water.
Painted surfaces should be cleaned using a soft cloth, detergent and warm water.
Glass surfaces should be cleaned with a suitable glass cleaning agent.
Do not use abrasive cleaning materials or products.
Do not use cleaning materials or products containing bleach.
Pay particular attention to fire risk when frying.
Do not flambé under the hood.
Clean grease filters in a dishwasher or by hand-washing in hot water and detergent every 2 months -
sooner if the hood is used extensively and filters become dirty.
LED replacement
The long-life LED units are not designed for end user replacement. In the unlikely event of failure please
call La Cornue.
Caring for HP4 high efficiency carbon filters (Recirculating hoods only).
To restore and regenerate high efficiency HP4 carbon filters, they must be washed in the
dishwasher (without other dishes or cookware) and then be placed into an oven for 1 hour at max
90°C / 200°F.
HP4 filters should be washed whenever they are dirty or lose effectiveness (at least every two
months).
Regular washing and regeneration will maximise the efficiency and lifespan of these filters.
These filters can be regenerated repeatedly but are considered a consumable and will eventually
deteriorate, after which they should be replaced. The time this takes will depend on the style of
cooking but they can be expected to deliver excellent service under normal use conditions, although
replacement is recommended at least every two years.
CAUTION
To minimise the risk of fire, all instructions
relating to cleaning the grease filters and
removing grease deposits must be adhered to.
