Maintenance and care

Disconnect the cooker hood from the power supply prior to cleaning

the appliance, either by removing the plug from the mains or

removing the fuse.

Clean the filter regularly. The grease deposits in the filter and

discharge tube are fire hazards where a hotplate (or another heat

source) is left on by error.

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.

Cleaning the grease filters

Clean the filter every month or every other

month according to how much the hood is

used.

The cleaner the filters, the more grease they

collect. To remove the filters, Fig. 3:

• First of all, push the stop on the metal

grease filter back, and then extract the filter

by pulling downward.

The filter is made of aluminium wires on which the

grease collects. Clean the filter in hot water using a

detergent, or in a dishwasher. Let the filter dry before

putting it back. Note that a dishwasher may discolour

the filter.discolouration of the filter can occur, this does not have any

impact on its performance.

• Clean the inner housing using a hot detergent solution only (never

use caustic detergents, abrasive powders or brushes).
