• The hood must always be disconnected from the electricity supply before beginning any maintenance
work.
Cleaning the hood
• Clean the outside of the hood using a damp cloth and a mild detergent.
• Never use corrosive, abrasive or flammable cleaning products.
• Never insert pointed objects in the motor’s protective grid.
• Wash the outside surfaces using a delicate detergent solution. Never use caustic detergents or abrasive
brushes or powders.
• Only ever clean the control panel and filter grille using a damp cloth and delicate detergents.
• It is extremely important to clean the unit and change the filters at the recommended intervals. Failure to do
so will cause grease deposits to build up that could constitute a fire hazard.
• Clean the inner housing using a hot detergent solution only (never use caustic detergents, abrasive powders
or brushes).

Warning
• Failure to observe the instructions on cleaning
the unit and changing the filters will cause a
fire hazard. You are therefore strongly
recommended to follow these instructions.
• The manufacturer declines all responsibility for
any damage to the motor or any fire damage
linked to inappropriate maintenance or failure
to observe the above safety recommendations.
Grease filter
• The purpose of the grease filters is to absorb
grease particles which form during cooking and
it must always be used, either in the external
extraction or internal recycling function.

The metal grease filters must be removed and
washed, either by hand or in the dishwasher,
every four weeks.

• Pull the handle downwards. Fig. 4.
Hand washing
Soak grease filters for about one hour in hot
water with a grease-loosening cleaner, then
rinse off thoroughly with hot water. Repeat the
process if necessary. Refit the grease filters
when they are dry.
Dishwasher
Place grease filters in the dishwasher. Select
most powerful washing programme and highest
temperature, at least 65°C. Repeat the process.
Refit the grease filters when they are dry.
When washing the metal grease filter in the
dishwasher a slight discolouration of the filter
can occur, this does not have any impact on its
performance.

The synthetic filter is very thin (approx. 1 mm)
and positioned on the inside of its support grid.
The filter should be changed once a month.
• The grid should be cleaned with luke warm
water and non-abrasive detergent when you
change the filter.
Opening the grid
