Maintenance And Care; Cleaning The Hood; Removing The Metal Grease Filter - AEG DI 8820 Notice D'utilisation

Maintenance and Care

• Before performing any maintenance operation, isolate the
hood from the electrical supply by switching off at the
connector and removing the connector fuse.
Or if the appliance has been connected through a plug and
socket, then the plug must be removed from the socket.

Cleaning the hood

• Clean the outside of the hood using a damp cloth and a solution of
water and mild washing up liquid.
• Never use corrosive, abrasive or flammable cleaning products or
products containing bleach. .
• Never insert pointed objects in the motor's protective grid.
• Only ever clean the switch panel and filter grill using a damp cloth
and mild washing up liquid.
• It is extremely important to clean the unit and change the filters at
the recommended intervals. Failure to do so will cause grease
deposits to build up that could constitute a fire hazard.
Metal grease filter
• The purpose of the grease filters is to absorb grease particles which
form during cooking and it must always be used, either in the
external extraction or internal re-circulation function.
Attention: the metal grease filters must be removed and washed,
either by hand or in the dishwasher, every four weeks.

Removing the metal grease filter

• First, push the metal grease filter stop
backwards, then extract the filter, pulling
downwards. Fig. 4.
Hand washing
Soak grease filters for about one hour in
hot water with a grease-loosening cleaner,
then rinse off thoroughly with hot water.
Repeat the process if necessary. Refit the
grease filters when they are dry.
Dishwasher
Place grease filters in the dishwasher. Select most powerful washing
programme and highest temperature, at least 65°C. Repeat the
process. Refit the grease filters when they are dry.
When washing the metal grease filter in the dishwasher a slight
discolouration of the filter can occur, this does not have any impact
on its performance.
• Clean the inner housing using a hand hot solution only(never use
caustic detergents, abrasive powders or brushes).
