Care and Maintenance

IMPORTANT : DO NOT PERFORM MAINTENANCE OR CLEANING OF THE EXTRACTOR WITHOUT FIRST

SWITCHING OFF THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY.

Cleaning

You should use a nonabrasive cleaner. Any abrasive cleaner (including Cif) will scratch the surface and could erase the

control panel markings.

You can clean your extractor effectively by simply using a dilute solution of water and mild detergent and drying to a

shine with a clean cloth.

Cleaning the grease filter

The grease filter should be kept clean to minimise the risk of fire.

At least once a month you should remove and clean the grease filter with hot soapy water. You can also wash the

grease filter in a dishwasher, ensuring that you place it in an upright position to prevent damage from other items in

the dishwasher. After rinsing and drying, replace the filter.

To remove the grease filter, push in the button on the handle and then pull down on the filter at the front. When you

have released it at the front, then you can pull out the filter. To replace the grease filter, repeat the steps in reverse.

Please note:

Cleaning the grease filter in the dishwasher may lead to discolouration. This is normal and does not constitute a fault

with the appliance.

Changing the charcoal filter (re-circulating only)

To ensure best performance of your extractor, you should replace the charcoal filter every four to six months, depending

on use.

To attach a new charcoal filter, first remove the grease filters as described above.

MEH extractors –

Insert the charcoal filter into the guide on the side of the motor, then slide the filter in until it locks into place. Repeat

with the second filter on the opposite side. Finally replace the grease filters.

MEP extractors –

Offer up the charcoal filter so that the magnetic pins are facing upwards, one to the rear and one to either side. The

filter will be held in place by magnetic force. Finally replace the grease filters.
