MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Before carrying out any maintenance or cleaning isolate the cooker hood from the mains supply. The cooker hood must be kept clean, a build up of grease or fat can be a fire hazard.
External Cleaning
Wipe the cooker hood frequently with warm soapy water using a mild detergent. Always wear protective gloves when cleaning the hood. Never use scouring pads or abrasive cleaners. Never use excessive amounts of water when cleaning particularly around the control panel.
Synthetic Paper Grease Filter
The filter has saturation indicators, which are small squares made from a series of dots. When the white paper inside the squares becomes saturated with grease the coloured dots start to run and spread across the paper, indicating that the filter has reached saturation point and must be replaced. The synthetic paper grease filter cannot be cleaned. It must not be washed.
To Replace the Synthetic Paper Grease Filter
