Filters and maintenance

ATTENTION! Before performing any main-
tenance operation, isolate the hood from
the electrical supply by switching off 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 filters are used to trap the greasy
element of the vapours that develop during
cooking.
The filter mats are made from non combus-
tible metal.
Caution:
As the filter becomes more and more satu-
rated with grease, not only does the risk of
it catching fire increase but the efficiency of
the extractor hood can also be adversely
affected.
Important:
By cleaning the metal grease filters at
appropriate intervals, the possibility of them
catching fire 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 filters:
■ In normal operation (1 to 2 hours daily),
the metal grease filter must be cleaned
after 8 to 10 weeks.
■ The filters can be cleaned in a dishwash-
er. It is however possible that they will
become slightly discoloured.
■ The filter must be placed loosely, and
NOT wedged, in the dishwasher.
Important: Metal filters that are saturated
with grease should not be washed togeth-
er with other dishes etc.
■ When cleaning the filters by hand, soak
them in hot soapy water first of all. Then
brush the filters clean, rinse them thor-
oughly and leave the water to drain off.
