MAINTENANCE
• We recommend that the range hood is
switched on before any food is cooked.
We also recommend that the appliance
is left running for 15 minutes after the
food is cooked, in order to thoroughly
eliminate all contaminated air.
The effective performance of the range
hood depends on constant maintenance;
the anti-grease filter and the active
carbon filter both require special
attention.
• The anti-grease filter is used to trap
any grease particles suspended in the
air, therefore is subject to saturation
(the time it takes for the filter to become
saturated depends on the way in which
the appliance is used). The grease filters
should be cleaned frequently. Use a
warm detergent solution. Grease filters
are a dishwasher safe.
- To prevent potential fire hazards, the
A
anti-grease filters should be washed a
minimum of every 2 months (it is possible
to use the dishwasher for this task).
- After a few washes, the colour of the
filters may change. This does not mean
they have to be replaced.
Fig.8
If the replacement and washing
instructions are not followed, the anti-
grease filters may present a fire hazard.
• The active carbon filters are used to purify the air which is released back into the
room. The filters are not washable or re-usable and must be replaced at least once every
four months. The active carbon filter saturation level depends on the frequency with
which the appliance is used, the type of cooking performed and the regularity with
which the anti-grease filters are cleaned.
• Clean the range hood frequently, both inside and outside, using a cloth which has
been dampened with denatured alcohol or neutral, non-abrasive liquid detergents.
• The light on the range hood is designed for use during cooking and not for general
room illumination. Extended use of the light reduces the average duration of the bulb.
• Hood Cleaning:
Stainless steel is one of the easiest materilas to keep clean. Occasional care will help
preserve its fine appearance.
Cleaning tips:
- Hot water with soap or detergent is all that is usually needed.
