MAINTENANCE
GREASE FILTER
Regular maintenance and cleaning will ensure good performance
and reliability, while extending the working life of the hood. Spe-
cial attention should be taken to keep the grease filter clean at all
times and the charcoal filter (recirculation model) should be re-
placed regularly. To remove filters for subsequent cleaning and
replacement first open the metal grille panel.
This retain the solid grease particles. It is fitted onto the reverse
side of the lower grille panel and can be either of a synthetic ma-
terial or metallic. Maintenance of the grease filter varies accord-
ing to the type used: synthetic grease filters should not be washed
and should be replaced every three months. The metal grease fil-
ters should be washed once a month in hot water using mild de-
tergent or liquid soap. It should not be bent and should be left to
dry before being refitted. The filter is easily removed from grille
by pushing the spring wire clips to one side and removing.
CHARCOAL FILTER
In the recycling mode the charcoal filter absorbs smells and
odours. The charcoal filter cannot be cleaned and should be re-
placed at least every six months or more frequently if the hood is
used consistently.
To replace the charcoal filter, support the filter with one hand,
remove the round disk through the centre of the charcoal filter
and rotate it till the filter will come away .
Replace by reversing the operation.
WARNING! It is a possible fire hazard if the filters are not
cleaned and replaced as recommended.
CLEANING
The metalwork should be cleaned regularly, at least once a month, using household cleaners
and polish. Never use abrasives.
