6 MAINTENANCE
Before carrying out any maintenance or cleaning isolate the cooker hood from the mains supply. The cooker hood must be kept clean; a build up of fat or grease can be a fire hazard. Casing • Wipe the cooker hood frequently with a clean cloth, which has been immersed in warm water contain- ing a mild detergent and wrung out. • Never use excessive amounts of water when cleaning particularly around the control panel. • Never use scouring pads or abrasive cleaners. • Always wear protective gloves when cleaning the cooker hood. Metal Grease Filters The metal grease filters absorb grease and dust during cooking to help keep the cooker hood clean inside. The grease filters should be cleaned once a month or more frequently if the hood is used for more than 3 hours per day. To remove and replace the metal grease filters • Remove the metal grease filters one at a time by releasing the catches on the filters; the filters can now be removed. • The metal grease filters should be washed, by hand, in mild soapy water or in a dishwasher. Allow to dry before replacing. Active Charcoal Filter The charcoal filter cannot be cleaned. The filter should be replaced at least every three months or more frequently if the hood is used for more than three hours per day. To remove and replace the filter • Remove the metal grease filters. Press against the two retaining clips, which hold the charcoal filter in place and this will allow the filter to drop down and be removed. • Clean the surrounding area and metal grease filters as directed above. • Insert the replacement filter and ensure the two retaining clips are correctly located. Replace the metal grease filters. Extraction tube. Check every 6 months that the dirty air is being extracted correctly.
