Cleaning and care
Before any cleaning or maintenance
work the cooker hood must be dis-
connected from the mains supply.
Depending on type of installation
either:
– switch it off at the wall socket and
remove the plug (do not pull on the
cable, only on the plug), or
– withdraw the fuse from the fused
spur connection unit (if accessible),
or
– withdraw the mains fuse, or
– remove the screw out fuse (in
countries where this is applicable).
Casing
The cooker hood casing may be
cleaned using hot water to which a little
mild detergent has been added.
Dry with a soft cloth.
Never use a cleaner which scours
or contains grit, soda, acid or
chloride. This would damage the
surface of the cooker hood.
A mild, non-abrasive stainless-steel
cleaner is suitable for cleaning the ap-
pliance.
Grease filters
The re-usable metal grease filters in the
appliance absorb solid particles
(grease, dust, etc.) from the kitchen va-
pours, thus preventing soiling of the
cooker hood.
At the latest, the grease filters should
be cleaned when the control lamp on
the grease filter switch comes on.
It is recommended that the grease fil-
ters are cleaned every 3 – 4 weeks to
prevent grease clogging the filter.
An oversaturated grease filter is a
fire risk.
To release the filters, press the cat-
ches towards the middle of the filter.
Remove the filters.
