Rangemaster LEIHDS120SC - Manual (Page 7)

Regular maintenance and cleaning will ensure good performance and reliability, while
extending the working life of the hood. Special attention should be paid to the grease
filter cassettes and the charcoal filter when the hood is used in the recirculation mode.
Before carrying out any mainte-
nance or cleaning isolate the cooker hood
from the mains supply.
METAL GREASE FILTERS
The grease filters absorb grease and dust
during cooking to help keep the chimney hood
clean inside, and should be cleaned every
month with normal usage or more frequently
if the hood is used consistently over 4 hours
per day.
Remove the metal grease filter
cassettes one at a time, by pressing the
release catch towards the rear of the hood
as illustrated opposite. When replacing the
filters ensure that the handle faces forwards.
The metal grease filters can be washed in a
dishwasher or by hand using a mild detergent
or liquid soap.
CHARCOAL FILTER
In the recirculation mode the activated
charcoal filter absorbs smells and unwanted
odours.
The charcoal filter cannot be cleaned or
regenerated and must be replaced every four
months, or more frequently if the hood is used
consistently over 4 hours per day.
To replace the charcoal filter, first
remove the metal grease filters and press
against the plastic retaining clips to remove
the charcoal filter as illustrated opposite.
We recommend that you wear rubber gloves
when removing the charcoal filter as the filter
will be saturated in grease. Put the filter into
a polythene bag or container so that the
grease and dirt cannot spill onto clothing of
furnishing.
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
THIS APPLIANCE CAN BE A
POSSIBLE FIRE HAZARD IF THE GREASE
FILTERS ARE NOT CLEANED AND THE
CHARCOAL FILTERS REPLACED AS
RECOMMENDED.
Replacement charcoal filters may be
purchased by returning the enclosed order
form, or by telephoning 01803 296155 if you
wish to pay by credit card.
