CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance isolate the cooker hood from the mains supply.

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

External Cleaning

Wipe over the cooker hood frequently with a cloth wrung out in warm soapy water using a mild detergent.

Never use scouring pads or abrasive cleaners.

Never use excessive amounts of water when cleaning particularly around the control panel.

Metal Grease Filters

The grease filters absorb grease and dust during cooking to help keep the cooker hood clean inside.

Cleaning

The filters must be washed once every month, using a normal household detergent; their compact dimension also enables them to be washed in a dishwasher. Allow to dry completely before replacing.
