The range hood should provide many
years of trouble free use provided it is
properly maintained. Be sure the lights
are cool before cleaning the hood – they
are halogen and become extremely hot.
Cleaning the Filter.
The aluminium mesh filters should be
washed by hand or in the dishwasher as
required. Damaged and worn filters must
be replaced immediately. (Do not opera-
te blower when filters have been remo-
ved). Allow filters to dry before replacing
them, otherwise water will be drawn into
the blower.
If a carbon filter has been fitted, this
must be replaced every 6 months as a
minimum, depending on usage and type
of cooking that is performed.
It is suggested that a spare set of carbon
filters is kept on hand. These can be orde-
red from the supplier of your range hood.
Cleaning the Hood
The outside and interior of your hood
should be wiped regularly with a clean,
damp cloth and mild household dish de-
tergent or degreaser.
Use a good quality non-abrasive foaming
type stainless steel cleaner for exterior
surfaces.
Follow the manufacturers directions. Ge-
nerally the foam is sprayed onto a clean
dry cloth and then applied to the stainless
steel. Allow the foam to react on the sur-
face 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 regularly to avoid the de-
posits from becoming baked on.

Do not use abrasive cleaning agents as
these will destroy the brushed finish.
Light Bulb Replacement
Turn blower and lights off. Make sure the
lights are cool.
Do not remove the entire fixture (socket)
as this is very difficult to reinstall.
Visually inspect the light fixture and esta-
blish whether the unit has a smooth or
"toothed" metal ring.
If smooth remove the glass blocking ring
by prying out with a sharp, soft instru-
ment such as a toothpick.
Steel instruments will scratch the surfa-
ce. Be careful that the lens does not fall
out. If "toothed", place the tip of your fin-
ger between the lens and the ring. Ma-
king your way around the ring, gently pull
outwards until a point is found where the
ring pulls off.
Replace the appropriate bulb. Check
parts brochure or specification sheets on
our website. Wipe both sides of the glass
whilst it is out.
