MAINTENANCE

Cleaning

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 at the same frequency as the grease filter cleaning). Do not use abrasive cleaning products. Do not use alcohol!

Important!
If the instructions regarding cleaning the appliance or replacing the filters are not followed, this can cause a fire. These instructions should 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 above safety instructions.

Cooker hood
Clean the cooker hood with soapy water and a soft cloth. Then wash off 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.

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.

Metal grease filters
Metal grease filters should be cleaned once a month (or when indicated by the filter saturation indication system, if present on your model), using a neutral cleaning agent, preferably 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. Aluminum-colored and black grease filters become dull as a result of dishwasher cleaning agents. This is normal and does not affect the working.

Grease filters

Removing the grease filters

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

Carbon filter HF2012

More noise is produced when carbon filters are used than when the cooker hood is used with an exhaust vent.
Carbon filters function optimally at a lower motor speed. Consequently, you should avoid setting 3 as much as possible.
Clean the carbon filter every 3 to 4 months, depending on cooking behavior.

Replacing the carbon filter HF2012
The carbon filter must always be used if the cooker hood is not ducted.

Disassembly
Remove the carbon filter by turning the twist locks on the front 90°. Carefully remove the filter.

Assembly
First, hook the carbon filter on the metal tab on the back of the hood and then secure the front, with the two twist locks, by turning them a quarter turn.

Note

The regenerable activated carbon filter can be washed by hand or in the dishwasher at a maximum temperature of 65 °C. The washing cycle must be done without other dishes and dishwasher detergent. Do not use any cleaning agents!
Remove excess water. Be careful to avoid damaging the filter. Let the filter dry in the oven for at least 1 hour at a maximum temperature of 80 °C. After a maximum of 3 years (or when the filter is damaged), the filter will need to be replaced.
The grease filters and the regenerable activated carbon filter must be properly dried before installation.

Odor/fine particle filter HF3001

More noise is produced when odor/fine particle filters are used than when the cooker hood is used with an exhaust vent.
Odor/fine particle filters function optimally at a lower motor speed. Consequently, you should avoid the setting 3 as much as possible.

Replacing the odor/fine particle filter HF3001
The odor/fine particle filter must be replaced annually. To replace the filter, follow the instructions supplied with the new filter. The recirculation set HR0013 must be ordered for the first installation.

Important:

The saturation of the filter depends on the intensity of use, the manner of cooking, and the regularity with which the grease filters are cleaned.

Lighting

This hood is fitted with a light system. This light system has to be replaced by an authorized technician. Do not attempt to replace it by yourself.
The lamp in this household appliance is only suitable for illumination of this appliance. The lamp is not suitable for household room illumination.
