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.
Metal grease filters
It is necessary to wash these filters at least every two months with warm water to which a little washing up liquid has been added. Their compact size means that they can be washed in the dishwasher. Replace the metal grease filters by removing the filter retaining clips (see below).

Carbon filters
The carbon filters have to be replaced when they are saturated, they cannot be cleaned and reused. They should be replaced after approximately 4 months, or sooner if the hood is used intensively. To replace the carbon filters, remove the grease filters and then the carbon filters push inwards on the two retaining clips (G1) and disengage the security fixing and remove.
Light
The light consists of 2 x 20W halogen spotlights. To replace the lights, remove the two screws that lock the metal ring in place. Take the spotlight out of the holder by pulling gently. When replacing, ensure that the screws are firmly inserted back in place.

External Cleaning
Any fat deposits should be removed regularly, at least every two months. Avoid using abrasive or corrosive cleaning products. To clean the outside of the cooker hood, use a cloth dipped in lukewarm water to which a small amount of washing up liquid has been added. The inside of the appliance should be cleaned with a soft cloth or brush dipped in warm soapy water.
