It is necessary to wash these filters at least every two

saturated, they cannot be cleaned and reused. They
should be replaced after approximately 4 months, or
sooner if the hood is used intensively.
To replace the carbon filters, remove the grease filters
and then the carbon filters push inwards on the two
retaining clips (G1) and disengage the security fixing
and remove.

The light consists of 2 x 20W halogen spotlights.
To replace the lights, remove the two screws that lock
the metal ring in place.
Take the spotlight out of the holder by pulling gently.
When replacing, ensure that the screws are firmly
inserted back in place.

The cooker hood must be kept
clean, a build up of grease or fat
can be a fire hazard.
