Maintenance

Cleaning

WARNING!

Important! For all maintenance, first, switch off the mains power to the cooker hood by pulling the plug out of the socket or by turning off the home’s master switch. The hood needs to be  cleaned regularly, both inside as well as outside (at least as often as the grease filter).

Do not use abrasive cleaning products. Do not use alcohol! If the instructions regarding cleaning the appliance or replacing the filters are not followed, this can cause a fire. These instructions must be followed! The manufacturer is not liable for damage to the hood or fire damage resulting from incompetent maintenance or from non-adherence to the safety instruction above.

Cooker hood

Clean the cooker hood with soapy water and a soft cloth.

Then rinse with clean water. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents such as caustic soda. The cooker hood finish stays in good condition if it is buffed periodically following the application of wax.

NOTE!

Stainless steel cooker hoods

Do not use scouring pads or other abrasive cleaners on stainless steel cooker hoods. Finish with a non-abrasive, non-polishing agent and buff the stainless steel in the direction of the grain.

Filter cleaning indicator

The filter indicator will light up after 100 operating hours.

• The grease filters should then be cleaned.
• Metal grease filters should be cleaned once a month (or when indicated by the filter cleaning indicator) using a neutral cleaning agent, either by hand or in the dishwasher on a short, low-temperature program.
• Place the grease filters with the openings facing downwards in the dishwasher so the water can drain out of the filter. Aluminium grease filters become dull as a result of dishwasher cleaning agents. This is normal and does not affect the working. Allow the filters to drain well before replacing.
• Reset the memory by long touching the – (minus) key until the filter indicator goes off.

Cleaning grease filters

1. Switch off the motor and lighting.
2. Remove the grease filters from the hood by pulling the special handle.

Maintenance

Replacing the carbon filter

1. The grease filters should first be removed before replacing the carbon filter.
2. Slot the notches at the back of the filter in the specially designed opening of the cooker hood.

NOTE!

The carbon filter must always be used if the cooker hood does not have an outlet.

Using a carbon filter creates more sound than when using the cooker hood with an outlet.

The carbon filter’s operation is optimal at a lower motor speed. You should, therefore, avoid using the boost function.

Saturation of the carbon filter will eventually occur after more or less prolonged use, depending on the type of cooking and how frequently the grease filter is cleaned.

It is necessary to replace the carbon filter when indicated by the filter indicator.

Do not wash or reuse the carbon filter. Saturated carbon is not environmentally friendly, change the filter regularly.

Lighting

WARNING!

• The hood is fitted with LED lights. An authorized technician must replace these. Do not attempt to replace the LED lights yourself.
• The lamp in this household appliance is only suitable for illumination of this appliance. The lamp is not suitable for household room illumination.

These gases can potentially lead to carbon monoxide poisoning. After installing an extraction hood or other vapour extractor, the operation of appliances with flue gas extraction must be tested by a competent person to ensure that the combustion gases do not flow back.

• The air must not be discharged into a flue that is used for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas or other fuels.

WARNING!

Never open the casing of the appliance.

• Disconnect the appliance from the mains supply before starting any repair work.
• We advise you to wear protective gloves when assembling the cooker hood because of the possible sharp edges.
• The distance between the lowest point of the cooker hood and the supporting surface for the cooking vessels gas hob should be at least 60 cm.
• If the instructions of the gas hob specify a greater distance, this has to be taken into account.
