Cleaning and care
Cleaning of the surface
Risk of electric shock! Please separate the
extractor hood from the power supply
network by pulling the plug or the
disconnection of the fuse. Please pay
attention to the fact that no water seeps into
the appliance during the cleaning process.
Untimely cleaning of the surface saves later
a troublesome removing of stubborn soiling.
For the cleaning use only commercial
detergent or allpurpose cleaners which are
suitable for stainless steel / aluminium.
Please do not use scouring agents or steel
wool! After the cleaning of the extractor hood
please tend the stainless steel surfaces with
a highgrade steelcare product.
Varnished surfaces have to be cleaned only
with a light soapy water and a very soft cloth.
Please clean all glasssurfaces with a
customary glass cleaning agent and with a
soft cloth.
Exchange and cleaning of the
metal grease filter
Fire risk! The performance of the extractor
hood is affected by containing fat remains
and therefore the fire risk increases. To
prevent a fire risk please clean the metal
filter regularly (see display "filter cleaning").
The metal grease filter must be cleaned
every 2 weeks at the latest.
For the removal of the metal grease filter
please unscrew it in anticlockwise direction.
The metal filter can be taken out (top down).
The metal grease filter is to be cleaned at
best in a dishwasher or in hot soapy water.
Aggressive cleaners should not be used.
The guarantee can not be applied if a
discolouring on the metal grease filter is a
result of using an aggressive dishwashing
liquid. Please avoid temperatures over 65
degrees.
Attention: do not use 3-phase-cleaners or
clean the filter in a commercial dishwasher.
The use of aggressive cleaners like fuel,
acetone, trichlorethylene destroys the filter!
After the cleaning please reinstall the filter
by screwing it on in clockwise direction.
Exchange of the active carbon
filter
(only extractor hoods with circular
air – version D)
Active carbon filters (a) bundle up odorous
substances which are contained in the
kitchen fume. According to the strain of work
this filter has to be exchanged after 3-6
months.
The charcoal filter can be exchanged right
after taking off the metal filter (see also
cleaning of the metal grease filter).
