Care & Cleaning

Before cleaning or maintenance,
switch off the electricity supply.
Replacing a light bulb

1. Switch the unit off and unplug the

appliance.

2. Pat the bulb down and replace the

bulb.

Outer casing

All external parts of the outer casing
can be safely cleaned with a clean
cloth wrung out in hot soapy water.

Do not use

caustic pastes, abrasive
cleaning powders, wire wool, hard
implements, or any products containing
chlorides as they will damage the
surfaces.
Stubborn marks can be removed using
a stainless steel cleaner. We recommend
that you clean the whole of the
stainless steel area to maintain a uniform
finish.
Sharp objects can mark the surface of
stainless steel, but marks will become
less noticeable with time.
To maintain the finish of the stainless
steel, or to remove any greasy marks,
wipe the stainless steel surface sparingly
with a

minimum

amount of Baby Oil
and kitchen paper.
Do not use cooking oils, as these may
contain salt, which can damage the
stainless steel surface.

Before cleaning or maintenance,
switch off the electricity supply.

To avoid any fire risk, the following
cleaning instructions must be followed:

Grease filters

The grease filters absorb grease and
dust from cooking fumes, which would
otherwise damage the inside of the hood.

The grease filters should be removed
and cleaned regularly - with normal
use, this should be every 2 months.
To clean use warm soapy water, or
wash in a dishwasher. The grease filters
may slightly change colour following
washing, however this does not
affect their performance.

Important:

Frequent washing is
essential to prevent a build up of
grease in the filters which could
become a fire hazard.

1. Remove the filters from the hood.

2. Carefully wash the grease filters in
hot soapy water and dry with a
clean towel.

3. Refit the clean filters.

Carbon filters

(models installed for

use with the re-circulation method only)

The carbon filters absorb cooking
odours and need renewing after about
4 months of normal use. Replacement
carbon filters can be obtained from
your supplier.
Saturation of the activated charcoal in
the filter will depend on how often the
hood is used, the type of kitchen and
the regularity of cleaning the grease filter.

The carbon filters cannot be
washed - renew every 4 months.
