ATTENTION! Before performing any main-
tenance operation, isolate the hood from
the electrical supply by switching o󰀨 at
the connector and removing the connec-
tor fuse.
Or if the appliance has been connected
through a plug and socket, then the plug
must be removed from the socket.
Grease Filter
Metal lters are used to trap the greasy
element of the vapours that develop during
cooking.
The lter mats are made from non combus-
tible metal.
Caution:
As the lter becomes more and more satu-
rated with grease, not only does the risk of
it catching re increase but the e󰀩ciency of
the extractor hood can also be adversely
a󰀨ected.
Important:
By cleaning the metal grease lters at
appropriate intervals, the possibility of them
catching re as a result of a build-up of heat
such as occurs when deep-fat frying or roast-
ing is taking place, is reduced.
Cleaning the metal grease lters:
■ In normal operation (1 to 2 hours daily),
the metal grease lter must be cleaned
after 8 to 10 weeks.
■ The lters can be cleaned in a dishwash-
er. It is however possible that they will
become slightly discoloured.
■ The lter must be placed loosely, and
NOT wedged, in the dishwasher.
Important: Metal lters that are saturated
with grease should not be washed togeth-
er with other dishes etc.
■ When cleaning the lters by hand, soak
them in hot soapy water rst of all. Then
brush the lters clean, rinse them thor-
oughly and leave the water to drain o󰀨.
Removing and inserting the metal grease
lters:
1. Press the catch on the grease lters
inwards and fold the lters down.
2. Clean the lters.
3. Insert the clean lters back into the hood.
