Cleaning and care
Cleaning the surfaces
Danger due to electric shock! Discon-
nect the extractor hood from the power
supply by pulling the plug out of the
socket or by switching off the fuse.
When cleaning, make sure that no water
penetrates the device. Regular cleaning
of the surface saves laborious removal
of stubborn contamination. Only use
conventional detergents or universal
cleaning agents suitable for cleaning
stainless steel/aluminium. Never use
abrasive cleaning agents or steel wool.
After cleaning the hood, treat the
stainless steel surfaces with a stainless
steel care product. Painted surfaces
should only be cleaned using a mild
detergent solution and a very soft cloth.
Only use a soft damp cloth to clean the
operating panel.
On hoods fitted with a panel below the
filter (edge extraction), grease deposits
occur at the edge of the panel. These
deposits occur for physical reasons and
are not due to a malfunction of the hood.
Please clean the panel underneath the
filter regularly to prevent the formation of
stubborn residues.
Cleaning and care instructions
When cleaning the grease filters, also
remove any grease deposits from the
accessible housing components. This
will prevent a fire hazard and maintain
an optimum range of functions. Use hot
soapy water or a mild window cleaning
agent to clean the hood. Do not scratch
off baked-on deposits. Soften them us-
ing a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive
agents or scouring pads.
Note: Do not use alcohol (spirits) on
plastic surfaces, as dull spots may re-
sult.
Caution: Ventilate the kitchen suffi-
ciently, no open flame.
Only clean the operating panel with a
soft damp cloth (mild detergent solu-
tion). Do not use stainless steel cleaners
for the sliding switch/pressure switch.
Stainless steel surfaces:
Use a mild and non-abrasive stainless
steel cleaning agent. Do not clean
stainless steel surfaces with abrasive
scouring pads or with cleaning agents
containing sand, soda, acid or chloride!
Clean in direction of polish only.
We recommend our stainless steel
cleaner no. 461731. See the enclosed
service booklet for the order address.
Aluminium, varnished and plastic surfaces:
Use a soft micro fibre cloth. Do not use
dry cloths. Use a mild window-cleaning
agent. Do not use aggressive cleaning
agents or agents containing acid or lye!
Do not use scouring agents.
Opening the glass panel:
Reach with both hands, left and right,
behind the glass panel and pull the
panel down until the magnetic contact
releases (1.).
The glass panel now opens to the first
step (cooking at
sive level). In order to open the glass
panel even further, the linkage must be
pressed towards the rear.
Pull the glass panel further down as far
as it will go.
Cleaning the grease filter
Fire hazard!
The performance of the extractor hood
is impaired by greasy residues and the
fire hazard is increased by the deposits.
To prevent the risk of fire, we recom-
mend regular cleaning of the metal filter.
With the glass panel open, hold the
metal filter by the filter grips and pull
down until the magnetic contact re-
leases. Now pull the metal filter out to-
wards the front. Filter installation in re-
verse order. The necessary cleaning of
the grease filter is also indicated by the
