Cleaning and Maintenance
Cleaning the Rangehood Exterior
Wipe the exterior surface of the rangehood regularly using a soft cloth
moistened with a household solvent such as methylated spirits, or with a
sponge dampened with water and a little non-abrasive liquid detergent.
Cleaning the Filters
The aluminium mesh lters must be cleaned regularly in order to prevent a re
hazard. Regular cleaning also ensures better efciency, as grease and grime
can impede the airow. We recommend cleaning them at least every two
months.
• Push in the plastic opening latch and take the lters out of their frames (Fig.17).
• Wash the lters thoroughly in warm, soapy water. For best results, leave
them to soak, wash and rinse with warm water. The aluminium mesh lters
may also be cleaned in a dishwasher. After cleaning, leave the lters to dry
completely before reinstalling them into the appliance.
WARNING: Never reinstall the lters when they are still wet.
NOTE: The aluminum panels may slightly change colour after several
washes. This is not a fault and no cause for concern. It does not affect
performance and does not warrant replacement of these parts.
CAUTION!
• Before cleaning the rangehood or carrying out maintenance, make sure
the operation and light switches are set to the “ 0 ” position and the
rangehood is disconnected from the power supply.
• It is important to clean the lters regularly as oil and food residues can
become a re hazard.
• Never use a steam cleaner to clean any part of the rangehood.
