Maintenance; Cleaning The Filter; Cleaning The Hood - Sirius SIU3 Notice D'utilisation Et D'entretien

Warning The battery should be repla-
ced every year to guarantee the optimal
range of the transmitter. To replace the
exhausted battery, take the plastic lid
off, remove the battery and replace it
with a new one, observing the cor-
rect battery polarities. Used batteries
should be discarded in special collec-
tion bins.
The hood-fan should provide many
years of trouble free service provided it
is maintained properly.

Cleaning the Filter.

Clean the grease filter either by careful-
ly hand washing, (so as not to dama-
ge the filter design) or, preferably in a
dishwasher. Depending on use, the fil-
ters should be cleaned at least every two
weeks in a dishwasher.
If a carbon filter has been fitted this
must be replaced at least every 6 mon-
ths as a minimum. Depending on coo-
king style and nature of cooking (greasy
foods, fry's, curries etc) would probably
require more frequent replacement – if
odors start to manifest themselves when
cooking it is time to replace the carbon
filter . We suggest you retain a spare set.
These can be ordered from the supplier
of your range hood.

Once the grease filters have been cleaned
and replaced, reset by pressing the timer
button (F). Do not rely solely on this indi-
cator. Generally, the grease filter should
be washed on a regular basis to avoid
grease filter fires.
The blower should be turned on for ap-
proximately 5 minutes before cooking
in order to establish air currents upward
through the hood. Use the low speeds
for normal use and the higher speeds for
strong odors and fumes.

Cleaning the Hood.

Cleaning of the internal parts should be
done with a clean damp (not excessively
wet) cloth together with regular household
detergent. The external stainless steel ele-
ments should be cleaned with a good qua-
lity foaming stainless steel cleaner. Read
the manufacturers directions. Generally
they recommend that the foam be 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 clean these on a regular basis to avoid
the marks from becoming baked on.
Do not under any circumstances use an
abrasive type cleaner as this will scratch
and damage the stainless steel finish.
Glass components should be cleaned with
a product such as Windex.
