MAINTENANCE
• We recommend that the cooker 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 cooker 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).
- To prevent potential fire hazards, the 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.
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 appli-
ance is used, the type of cooking performed and the regularity with which the anti-grease
filters are cleaned.
• Clean the cooker 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 cooker 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.
