Maintenance; Cleaning The Filter; Cleaning The Hood - Sirius SU1 Notice D'utilisation Et D'entretien

SU Models only: Filter requires washing in-
dicator After 30 hours of use, all the buttons
will light up to remind you that the grease fil-
ter should be cleaned. Follow the instructions
for cleaning filters in this booklet. Once the
grease filters have been cleaned and repla-
ced, reset by pressing the timer button (F).
Do not rely solely on this indicator – general-
ly, the grease filter should be washed on a
regular basis to avoid grease filter fires.
The blower should be turned on for appro-
ximately 5 minutes before cooking in order
to establish air currents upward through the
hood.
The range hood should provide many years
of trouble free use provided it is properly
maintained. Be sure the lights are cool befo-
re cleaning the hood - they are halogen and
become extremely hot.

Cleaning the Filter.

The aluminium mesh filters should be wa-
shed by hand or in the dishwasher as re-
quired. Damaged and worn filters must be
replaced immediately. (Do not operate blo-
wer when filters have been removed). Allow
filters to dry before replacing them, otherwi-
se water will be drawn into the blower.
If a carbon filter has been fitted, this must be
replaced every 6 months as a minimum, de-
pending on usage and type of cooking that
is performed.
It is suggested that a spare set of carbon
filters is kept on hand. These can be ordered
from the supplier of your range hood.

Use the low speeds for normal use and the
higher speeds for strong odors and fumes.

Cleaning the Hood

The outside and interior of your hood should
be wiped regularly with a clean, damp cloth
and mild household dish detergent or degre-
aser.
Use a good quality non-abrasive foaming
type stainless steel cleaner for exterior sur-
faces.
Follow the manufacturers directions. Gene-
rally the foam is sprayed onto a clean dry
cloth and then applied to the stainless steel.
Allow the foam to react on the surface for a
few minutes and then wipe with a clean dry
cloth.
On the surfaces that are exposed directly to
heat from the cook-top, it is advisable to cle-
an these regularly to avoid the deposits from
becoming baked on.
Do not use abrasive cleaning agents as the-
se will destroy the brushed finish.
