Sirius Range Hoods SIU401-23 - Manual (Page 10)

The hood-fan should provide many
years of trouble free service
provided it is maintained properly.
Cleaning the Filter
Clean the grease filter either by
carefully hand washing, (so as not to
damage the filter design) or,
preferably in a dishwasher.
Depending on use, the filters should
be cleaned at least every two weeks
in a dishwasher.
If a carbon filter has been fitted this
must be replaced at least every 6
months as a minimum. Depending
on cooking style and nature of
cooking (greasy foods, fry’s, curries
etc) would probably require more
frequent replacement – if odors start
to manifest themselves when
cooking it is time to replace the
carbon filter . We suggest you retain
a spare set. These can be ordered
from the supplier of your range
hood.
Cleaning the Hood
Cleaning of the internal parts should
be done with a clean damp (not
excessively wet) cloth together with
regular household detergent. The
external stainless steel elements
should be cleaned with a good
quality foaming stainless steel
cleaner. Read the manufacturers
directions. Generally they recomend
that the foam be sprayed onto a
clean dry cloth and then applied to
the stainless steel. Allow the foam to
react on the surface for a few
minutes and then wipe with a clean
dry cloth.

On the surfaces that are exposed
directly to heat from the cook-top, it
is advisable to clean these on a
regular basis to avoid the marks
from becoming baked on.
Do not under any circumstances use
an abrasive type cleaner as this will
scratch and damage the stainless
steel finish. Glass components
should be cleaned with a product
such as Windex.
Light Bulb Replacement
Turn blower and lights off. Make
sure the lights are cool.
If new lights do not operate, check
fuses and be sure globes and
breakers are inserted correctly.
Do not remove the entire fixture
(socket) as this is very difficult to
reinstall. Gently pry the bulb from
the fixture using a soft instrument
such as a toothpick. Steel instru-
ments will scratch the surface.
Replace the appropriate bulb. Check
parts brochure or specification
sheets on our website. Wipe both
sides of the glass whilst it is out.
Re-insert the glass-blocking ring and
fasten it.
