MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
•
Always disconnect the power before cleaning.
•
The hood must be cleaned regularly to ensure optimal operation and long service life.
•
Grease and dust debris collect in the filter and may risk igniting with insufficient cleaning.
•
The hood should be cleaned inside and out frequently to avoid grease stains on walls or other surfaces.
DAILY cLEANING
•
For cupboard-integrated, free-hanging and wall-mounted hoods, Thermex recommends that the grease filter be wiped with a damp cloth
after each cooking session. It requires very little effort every day to keep your cooker hood clean and effective.
•
Steel surfaces are cleaned with a damp cloth and detergent, and finished with a metal polish (can be purchased with the item number
499.99.9999.9).
•
Lacquered surfaces should be cleaned with a damp cloth with detergent/washing-up liquid. Never use abrasives.
cLEANING THE GREASE FILTER
The grease filter should be cleaned as needed. Thermex recommends as a minimum that the filter be cleaned at the following intervals, depend-
ing on the fat used for frying:
•
Frying margarine - the filter should be cleaned every 3 weeks.
•
Liquid margarine - the filter should be cleaned every 2 weeks.
•
Oil - the filter should be cleaned once a week.
•
Deep fat frying - the filter should be cleaned 2–3 times per week.
The grease filters are cleaned in the following way:
1
Open the cover by pulling down the edge of
the cover on the front of the hood.
4
Replace the filter.
The filter can also be washed in the dishwasher. Please note, however, that machine washing can result in discolouration of the filter. Discolour-
ation of the filter does not affect performance.
2
Remove the grease filter by pulling on the
filter locking mechanism.
5
