Cleaning & Maintenance
Filters
For this appliance to function effectively, regular maintenance is a must.
• The function of the filter is to absorb the grease particles given off during cooking.
• Clogged filters and heavy oil deposits restrict airflow and may cause the motor to overheat
and become a fire hazard.
• Filters should be cleaned every 3-6 weeks or after 40 hours of use.
• For induction cooktop, please aim to clean them at least every 10 days, depending on use.
• The filters can be washed by hand or in the dishwasher.
–
Washing by hand -
Immerse the filter in hot water and a suitable detergent and when clean,
rinse with plenty of hot water.
–
Dishwasher -
Put the filter in the dishwasher and select a short program at low temperature.
NOTE: The colour of the metal mesh filters may change after several washes. This is normal and
it is not necessary to change the filters.
Please ensure the filters are completely dry before placing them back in position
and operating the rangehood.
Warning
• If the grease filters are very dirty, the motor will extract only a small quantity of air,
which reduces its efficiency;
• The grease deposits that build up on the filter are highly flammable and
COULD
EASILY CATCH FIRE
.
• The manufacturer is exonerated from all responsibility in the event of fire due to poor
maintenance of the grease filters.
To remove the filter press handle and remove
it through the front guide; bend it slightly and
remove filter. To replace, perform the same
operation but in reverse.
