Care and cleaning

Cleaning steel surface
Clean stainless steel surfaces using non-abrasive cleaning products that are s pecificaly or use on stainless steel.To ensure best results also use an even pressure and follow the grain of the stainless steel. Use of a soft cloth reduces the risk of scratching. If the cloth is wet ensure that a dry soft cloth is used to wipe down the surface again reducing the risk of any surface rust appearing.

Cleaning grease filters
The filter must be cleaned at least once a month using non aggressive detergents, either by hand or in the dishwasher, which must be set to a low temperature and a short cycle. The openings must be placed downwards to let the water run out of the filters. The cleaning agents will make the aluminium filter turn dull, this is normal.

Carbon filter
The carbon filter should only be used if you want to use the hood in the recirculation function. This filter cannot be cleaned or re-used and as a general rule, the activated carbon filter should be changed as carbon filter requirement.
