maintenance and care 8
Cleaning the hood
• Clean the outside of the hood using a damp cloth and a
solution of water and mild washing up liquid.
• Never use corrosive, abrasive or flammable cleaning
products or products containing bleach.
• Never insert pointed objects in the motor’s protective grid.
• Only ever clean the switch panel and filter grill using a
damp cloth and mild washing up liquid.
• It is extremely important to clean the unit and change the
filters at the recommended intervals. Failure to do so will
cause grease deposits to build up that could constitute a
fire hazard.
Metal grease filter
• The purpose of the grease filters is to absorb grease
particles which form during cooking and it must always be
used, either in the external extraction or internal
re-circulation function.
Attention: the metal grease filters must be removed
and washed, either by hand or in the dishwasher,
every four weeks.
Removing the metal grease filters
• Push it towards the back of the unit and then pull it down
and out. (Fig. 3)
Hand Washing
Soak grease filters for about one hour in hot water with a
grease-loosening cleaner, then rinse off thoroughly with hot
water. Repeat the process if necessary. Refit the grease
filters when they are dry.
Dishwasher
Place grease filters in the dishwasher. Select most powerful
washing programme and highest temperature, at least 65°C.
Repeat the process. Refit the grease filters when they are dry.
When washing the metal grease filter in the dishwasher a
slight discolouration of the filter can occur, this does not have
any impact on its performance.
• Clean the inner housing using a hand hot solution only
(never use caustic detergents, abrasive powders or
brushes).
Changing the light bulb
Ensure the appliance is switched off before carrying out
maintenance, to avoid any possibility of electric shock.
Remove grease filter to replace lamp. Replace with 40W
(maximum) E14 candle lamp. (Fig. 4)
WARNING:-
Failure to observe the instructions on cleaning the unit
and changing the filters will cause a fire hazard. You
are therefore strongly recommended to follow these
instructions.
The manufacturer declines all responsibility for any
damage to the motor or any fire damage linked to
inappropriate maintenance or failure to observe the
above safety recommendations.
HOODS WITH HALOGEN LAMPS:-
If the halogen lamps need replacing, they must be
replaced by lamps with an aluminium reflector, never
dichroic lamps, to avoid unnecessary overheating in
the lamp holders.
IMPORTANT:-
The hood must always be disconnected from the
electricity supply before beginning any maintenance
work.
