Cleaning and care
Before cleaning the extractor dis-
connect it from the main electrical
supply (pull out the plug or trip the
circuit breaker).
Grease filter
A re-usable metal grease filter is used
to remove solid particles (oil, dust, etc.)
from kitchen vapors, preventing soiling
of the extractor fan.
The grease filter can be cleaned in a
dishwasher or by hand.
The grease filter should be cleaned
regularly to ensure trouble free oper-
ation of the extractor fan.
An over-greasy filter is a fire hazard.
To remove the grease filter the venti-
lation grill (1) must be removed.
Carefully withdraw the grease filter
(2).
Make sure that no particles from the
grease filter fall into the interior of
the appliance. If this does happen,
the Service Department will have to
be called to clean the appliance, as
the fan casing will need to be dis-
mantled.
Loosen both screws on the grease fil-
ter and remove the drip tray.
Clean the grease filter, the ventilation
grill and the drip tray.
By hand: in a solution of hot water
and detergent using a nylon brush, or
In a dishwasher: the grease filter,
the ventilation grill and the drip tray
should be placed in the bottom bas-
ket. Ensure that the spray arm is not
obstructed.
When clean and dry, replace the drip
tray on the grease filter and re-install
it in the appliance.
Replace the ventilation grill.
Control panel / Control knob
The control panel and control knob
should be cleaned in a solution of hot
water and detergent and dried using a
soft cloth.
Do not use abrasive cleaning
agents as these will scratch the sur-
face material.
