CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Note: Disconnect the cooker bonnet from the power supply before carrying out
maintenance or cleaning work by pulling out the appliance plug or completely
unscrewing the circuit breaker of the domestic installation or the screw fuse of
the domestic installation.
•
The extractor hood must not be cleaned with a steam cleaner.
•
Do not use cleaning agents containing alcohol to clean appliances with a matt
black surface. These can lead to discolouration.
•
Failure to observe the maintenance and cleaning instructions may result in a
fire hazard due to grease deposits.
•
The grease filters of your appliance must be cleaned or replaced regularly.
•
Filters saturated with grease can quickly catch fire and also spread unpleasant
odours.
•
Grease filters clogged with dirt particles considerably impair the function of
the appliance.
•
When cleaning in the area of the controls, make absolutely sure that no water
enters the electronics.
Special notes for devices with stainless steel housing
•
For cleaning stainless steel surfaces, a commercially available, non-abrasive
stainless steel cleaning agent should be used.
•
To prevent rapid re-soiling of the surfaces, it is recommended to treat them
with a stainless steel preservative.
•
Apply the agent sparingly over the entire surface with a soft cloth.
•
Never use stainless steel cleaning agent near the operating elements.
•
When cleaning metal grease filters, take care not to damage the fabric.
•
Frequent cleaning or the use of aggressive cleaning agents may cause colour
changes on the metal surface. These do not affect the function of the filter
and are no reason for complaint.
Changing the grease filter
•
Change paper grease filters monthly.
•
Change paper grease filters with alarm every two months or when the colour
of the surface becomes visible through the mesh openings. This filter is
coloured on one side; after installation, this colouring must no longer be
visible through the mesh openings.
•
Foam grease filters must be soaked in warm soapy water for 1 to 2 hours
once a month. Do not squeeze the grease filters and repeat the procedure if
necessary. Replace the foam grease filter with a new one after a maximum of
5-6 washing cycles.
