Cleaning the fan blades
To do this, proceed as follows (fig. f, page 11, fig. g, page 12):
➤ Open the cover hood completely.
➤ Remove the safety catch.
➤ Remove the grille ring by holding the tab with one hand and pulling straight
down.
Support the grille assembly with the other hand to protect the grille ring from
breaking. Removing the grille ring may initially be difficult but once you have
disassembled it several times it gets easier.
➤ Hold the fan blades with one hand so that it does not rotate and remove the
screw from the hub surface in the middle of the fan blade.
➤ Hold the fan blades with both hands and pull down firmly.
Move the fan blades bit by bit vertically and horizontally if necessary, so that it
slides off the motor shaft.
➤ Clean the grille ring and the fan blades
– with window cleaner
– with non-abrasive detergent and warm water
– in a dishwasher
➤ Once the grille ring and fan blades are clean and dry, you can apply a water-
based protective agent and polish the grille ring and fan blades to a high gloss.
This reduces dust and dirt deposits and makes cleaning easier.
➤ Reassemble the fan again by following the steps in reverse order.
!
CAUTION! Beware of injury.
Only use the fan when the grille ring is fitted.
