How to clean the metal grease filters?

The grease filters must be cleaned at least once a month. You can wash them by hand with soapy water or in the dishwasher at low temperature. Let them dry completely before putting them back.

When should the charcoal filter be replaced?

The charcoal filter should be replaced every three months. Saturation depends on usage. Use reference HF2028.

What to do if the hood's lighting no longer works?

The integrated lighting system must be replaced by an authorized technician. Do not try to replace it yourself. Contact customer service.

The hood makes an abnormal noise, what could be the causes?

Possible causes are: an exhaust that is too long or too many bends in the duct (modify the duct), a defective flap, or the use of charcoal filters (louder). If the problem persists, contact customer service.

Why doesn't the hood extract properly?

This may be due to a defective flap or control, a defective connection cable, or dirty grease filters. Clean the filters regularly. If nothing changes, call customer service.

Can I use the hood in recirculation mode?

Yes, but you must install a charcoal filter (sold separately, ref. HF2028). Note: this mode reduces performance and increases noise.

Exhaust systems

Diagram of a building interior with brick walls, a chimney, and a cabinet (no text or symbols)

The cooker hood can, depending on the model, be connected in one of two ways:

1. As a cooker hood connected to an exhaust duct.

The cooking fumes are drawn into the cooking hood, filtered, and exhausted outdoors. This is the best way!

Diagram of a vertical structure with brick wall and hanging panel, showing airflow direction (no text or symbols)

1. As a recirculation cooker hood.

The cooking fumes are drawn into the cooking hood and the grease droplets and odours are filtered out.

The filtered air is not exhausted outdoors, but is returned to the kitchen. You then need to fit a carbon filter.

Note! The carbon filter for recirculation must be ordered separately and replaced regularly.

Cleaning

Attention! Before carrying out maintenance work, always disconnect the cooker hood from the power supply by pulling out the plug or switching off the power at the fuse box.

The hood must be cleaned regularly, both inside as well as outside (with at least the same regularity as used for cleaning the grease filters). Do not use any products that contain abrasive materials. Do not clean with alcohol!

Attention! If you do not follow these instructions with regards to the cleaning of the appliance and the cleaning or replacement of the filters, this can lead to fire. It is essential to follow these instructions!

The manufacturer is not liable for damage to the motor or damage as a result of fire that is due to improper servicing or not following the above safety requirements.

Cooker hood

Clean the cooker hood with soapy water and a soft cloth. Then treat with clean water. Do not use any aggressive cleaning agents such as soda. The lacquer of the cooker hood will remain in good condition if you rub the lacquer with wax once in a while.

Stainless steel hoods

Do not use scouring sponges or other abrasives on stainless steel hoods. Finish with a non-abrasive, non-polishing agent and scrub in the direction of the brushing of the stainless steel.

Metal grease filters

Metal grease filters should be cleaned once a month (or when indicated by the filter saturation indication system, if present on your model), using a neutral cleaning agent, preferably by hand or in the dishwasher on a short, low-temperature program. Place the grease filters with the openings facing downwards in the dishwasher so the water can drain out of the filter. Aluminum-colored and black grease filters become dull as a result of dishwasher cleaning agents. This is normal and does not effect the working.

Grease filters

Regular filter cleaning ensures optimal performance and prevents release of cooking odours when the appliance is not in use.

Clean the grease filters at least once a month. During cleaning, the aluminium parts of the filters may become dull as a result of the cleaning agents used, particularly when placed in the dishwasher. This is normal.

Removing the filter cassette

1. Switch off the appliance and the lighting.
2. Using the recess, press the filter backwards and tip it downwards at the front.
3. Remove the filter from the hood.

Cleaning

• The filters can be easily cleaned by hand. Clean the filters in water and washing-up liquid and rinse them. Afterwards, let the filters drain and dry thoroughly before replacing them.
• You can also clean the filters in the dishwasher if necessary. Afterwards, let the filters drain and dry thoroughly before replacing them.
• The underside of the extractor hood can be cleaned with a mild cleaning agent and a moist cloth.

Reinstalling filter cassette

Make sure the filters are thoroughly dry before replacing them. The filter has to be installed with the locking mechanism at the front.

1. Open the locking mechanism. This pulls the projections at the front of the filter inwards. When installing the filters hold the locking mechanism in this position.
2. Push the projections at the back of the filter into the openings provided for this purpose at the rear of the extractor hood.
3. Hinge the filter upwards.
4. Release the locking mechanism. The projections at the front of the filter move outwards into the openings provided for this purpose at the front of the extractor hood.

Carbon filters
