Surfaces

Wash with warm soapy water and a soft sponge. Never use abrasive detergent, scouring pads, steel
wool or solvents on any part of this appliance, Always make sure to dry the appliance after cleaning
and never leave wet, as this will cause irreparable damage.

Filters

• For this appliance to function effectively, regular maintenance is a must.

• The function of the lter is to absorb the grease particles emitted during cooking.

• Blocked lters and heavy oil deposits restrict airow and may cause the motor to overheat and

become a re hazard.

• Filters should be cleaned every 3-6 weeks or after 40 hours of use.

• Disconnect the electrical connection before any maintenance or cleaning processes are carried out.

• To remove the lter pull the clip gently down until it disengages. To replace, perform the same

operation but in reverse, making sure the back two tabs of the lter are lined up with the rangehood.

• In ceiling-mounted rangehoods, the doors or glass must be opened before accessing the lters.

• For an induction cooktop, please aim to clean them at least every 10 days, depending on use.

• The lters can be washed by hand or in the dishwasher

Washing by hand - Immerse the lter in hot water and a suitable detergent and when clean, rinse

with plenty of hot water.

Dishwasher - Put the lter in the dishwasher and select a short program at low temperature.
NOTE: The colour of the metal mesh lters may change after several washes. This is normal and it is

not necessary to change the lters.

Page 10

6. Cleaning & Maintenance

WARNING

• If the grease lters are very dirty, the motor will extract only a small
quantity of air, which reduces its efciency;

• The grease deposits that build up on the lter are highly ammable and

COULD EASILY CATCH FIRE.

• The manufacturer is exonerated from all responsibility in the event of re
due to poor maintenance of the grease lters.

Cleaning the Interior

Installation Advice

• Never reduce ue diameter right next to the rangehood outlet tting, refer to gure 1.

• Never t reductions next to curves or bends in the installations. They must always be in straight
sections and as far as possible from the rangehood, refer to gure 2.

• Avoid exccessive reduction of the ue size, as this drastically reduces extraction capacity, refer to
gure 3.

• Use an air extraction ue which is as short as possible.

• You should not have more than one blend in the installation, refer to gure 4.

• If they are unavoidable, keep the curves or bends to a minimum. Try to keep the angles as open as
possible, refer to gure 5.

8. Maintenance

Condensation Information

The induction cooktop is designed to provide rapid heating, improved thermal efciency and greater heat

consistency. For some customers with an induction cooktop, condensation can form on their rangehood

lters while using their cooktop.

The induction cooktops’ heat source is contained in the conductive base of the pot. When compared with

a gas, electric or wok burner, the heat is not isolated or contained to one area and therefore gradually

rises up on all sides of the pot or frypan. This combination allows the rangehood lters to warm up slowly

and eliminate the formation of condensation. For induction cooktops, the immediate and contained heat

source can produce vapours rapidly. This prevents the lters from gradually warming up and increases the

chance of condensation forming.

There are many variables that can contribute to the condensation problem associated with induction
cooktops and rangehoods. Some of these variables include, but are not limited to:

• The Country or State you live in (example, WA versus VIC, and the variables in daily temperatures)

• The position of your home and kitchen (morning/afternoon sun)

• The quality of pots and cookware you are using

• Height of rangehood

• Rapid heating

• Ducting angle

• Filter size

If induction, vitro-ceramic hobs and the like are not used correctly, they can lead to problems with the
condensation of liquids due to temperature differences. After some time in use, these condensed liquids

can build up and possibly appear on the metal lters or the bottom of the rangehood.

For advice to avoid condensation, please refer to next page.

Page 20

8. Maintenance

User advice to avoid condensation in the rangehood:

• The rangehood should be switched on approx. 10 minutes prior to cooking and the delay shut
down timer set after cooking has stopped in order to clear the fumes held in the ue. These steps
will help clear the ue out fully.

• Do not cook at full power straight away, i.e. start on low or medium power for a while so that the

steel in the rangehood can warm up.

• Filters must be kept clean. For induction cooktop users, aim to clean lters at least every 10 days,
and replace the lters if their condition begins to deteriorate.

• There must be a constant ow of air into the cooking area to avoid the creation of a depression

which can affect the rate of aspiration.

• Follow the advice from the instructions for induction systems with regards to the condensation
effect.

• Suggested height for induction cooktop is approx. 750mm above the cooking surface.

Each person’s circumstances are different, but the vast majority of induction cooktop owners have

had no problems with condensation. However, it is important to understand that:

Neither the rangehood nor the induction cooktop are faulty. That in some circumstances, the
combination of the rangehood, the induction cooktop and the many variables within your home,

can lead to condensation forming on your rangehood lters. With a gas or standard electric

cooktop, you should not have any condensation.
