MAINTENANCE
Cleaning
EN 8
Important! Before all maintenance, disconnect the cooker hood from
the mains power first by pulling the plug out of the socket or by turning
off the home's master switch. The hood needs to be cleaned regularly,
both inside as well as outside (at least as frequently as the grease filter
cleaning). Do not use abrasive cleaners.
Do not use alcohol!
Important! If the instructions regarding cleaning the appliance or
cleaning or replacing the filters are not followed, this can cause a fire.
These instructions need to be observed!
The manufacturer is not liable for damage to the motor or fire damage
resulting from incompetent maintenance or from non-adherence to the
above safety instructions.
Cooker hood
Clean the cooker hood with soapy water and a soft cloth. Then wash
off with clean water. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents such as
caustic soda. The cooker hood finish stays in good condition if it is
buffed periodically following the application of wax.
Stainless steel cooker hoods
Do not use scouring pads or other abrasive cleaners on stainless steel
cooker hoods. Finish with a non-abrasive, non-polishing agent and buff
with the structure of the stainless steel.
Metal grease filters
Metal grease filters should be cleaned once a month (or when indicated
by the filter cleaning indicator – if present on the model) using a neutral
cleaning agent, either by hand or in the dishwasher on a short, low-
temperature programme. Place the grease filters with the openings
facing downwards in the dishwasher so the water can run out of the
filter. Aluminium grease filters become dull as a result of dishwasher
cleaning agents. This is normal and does not effect the working.
