USEFUL HINTS

• To obtain the best performance we recommend you to switch 'ON' the cooker hood a few minutes (in
the boost setting) before you start cooking and you should leave it running for approximately 15 minutes
after finishing.
• IMPORTANT: NEVER DO FLAMBÉ COOKING UNDER THIS COOKER HOOD
Do not leave frying pans unattended during use as over-heated fat and oil might catch fire.
•
• Do not leave naked flames under this cooker hood.
• Switch 'OFF' the electric and gas before removing pots and pans.
• Ensure heating areas on your hotplate are covered with pots and pans when using the hotplate
and cooker hood simultaneously.
6 MAINTENANCE
Before carrying out any maintenance or cleaning isolate the cooker hood from the mains supply.
The cooker hood must be kept clean; a build up of fat or grease may cause a fire hazard.
Casing
• Wipe the cooker hood frequently with a clean cloth, which has been immersed in warm water contain-
ing a mild detergent and wrung out.
• Never use excessive amounts of water when cleaning particularly around the control panel.
• Never use scouring pads or abrasive cleaners.
• Always wear protective gloves when cleaning the cooker hood.
Metal Grease Filters : The metal grease filters absorb grease and dust during cooking in order to keep
clean the cooker hood inside. The grease filters should be cleaned once a month or more frequently if
the hood is used for more than 3 hours per day.
To remove and replace the metal grease filters
• Remove the metal grease filters one at a time by releasing the catches on the filters; the filters can
now be removed.
• The metal grease filters should be washed, by hand, in mild soapy water or in a dishwasher.
• Allow to dry before replacing.
Active Charcoal Filter : The charcoal filter cannot be cleaned. The filter should be replaced at least
every three months or more frequently if the hood is used for more than three hours per day.
To remove and replace the filter
• Remove the metal grease filters.
• Press against the two retaining clips, which hold the charcoal filter in place and this will allow the filter
to drop down and be removed.
• Clean the surrounding area and metal grease filters as directed above.
• Insert the replacement filter and ensure the two retaining clips are correctly located.
• Replace the metal grease filters.
Extraction tube : Check every 6 months that the dirty air is being extracted correctly. Comply with local
rules and regulations with regard to the extraction of ventilated air.
Lighting : If the lamp fails to function check to ensure it is fitted correctly into the holder. If lamp failure
has occurred then it should be replaced with identical replacement.
Do not replace with any other type of lamp and do not fit a lamp with a higher rating.
Remote control handset : Caution, the remote control handset must be fitted with standard LR03-AAA
size 1.5V zinc-carbon alkaline batteries. These batteries should give a long life and constant discharge
throughout their life. These batteries must be disposed of properly and could explode if damaged or
exposed to heat. Do not dispose of on fire. Dispose of batteries in the appropriate sort
