Filters and maintenance

Metal-mesh grease filters have been

installed to filter grease particles out of

The filter mats are made of incombustible

As grease accumulates in the filter, there is

an increased risk of the filter catching fire

and the extractor hood may malfunction.

By cleaning the metal grease filters at

appropriate intervals, the possibility of them

catching fire as a result of a build-up of heat

such as occurs when deep-fat frying or

roasting is taking place, is reduced.

Cleaning the metal-mesh grease filters:

During normal operation (1 to 2 hours daily),

the metal-mesh grease filters should be

cleaned every 8 – 10 weeks.

The filters can be cleaned in the

However, the filters may be slightly

If the metal-mesh grease filters are very

dirty, do NOT wash them in the

dishwasher with other pots and pans.

When cleaning by hand, soak the filter

mats for several hours in a hot soap

Then brush them off, rinse thoroughly

and allow to drip dry.

To ensure the best possible results,

use only original filters.

Replacing the light bulb

1. Switch off the extractor hood and pull

out the mains plug or switch off the

electricity supply at the fuse box.

2. Pull out the filter drawer all the way.

3. Pull the lamp cover forwards.

4. Replace the light bulbs. Fig. 6. (Standard

Disconnect the extractor hood from the

electricity supply by pulling out the mains

plug or switching it off at the fuse box.

❑ At the same time as you clean the

grease filters, clean off any grease from

all accessible parts of the housing. This

significantly reduces the fire hazard and

ensures that the extractor hood

performs as effectively as possible.

window cleaner to clean the canopy of

❑ Do not scrape off any dirt that has dried

on but loosen it up with a damp cloth.

❑ Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or

sponges that could cause scratches.

stic parts, otherwise the surface may

become matt in appearance.

Caution: Ensure that the kitchen is ade-

quately ventilated. Avoid naked flames!
