❖ In the case of a strong concentration of cooking fumes select a higher power level
early. Cooking fumes which are already distributed in the kitchen may require a
longer operation of the extractor hood.
❖ Clean the grease filter(s) regularly as clean filters will increase the efficiency of the
appliance.
❖ Replace the carbon filters (for recirculation mode only!) regularly. Observe the
information given on the packaging of the carbon filters.
6. Cleaning and maintenance
WARNING! Disconnect the appliance from the mains before you clean
or maintain it.
WARNING! Ignoring the cleaning and maintenance instructions will
cause an increased RISK OF FIRE!
NOTICE! Take off all rings and bracelets before cleaning or maintaining
the appliance; otherwise you will damage the surface of the appliance.
1. Clean the housing of the appliance with a suitable detergent. Use such a product
carefully and economically.
2. Do not clean the control panel with a detergent. Use a damp cloth. Otherwise
you may damage the electronic components of the controls.
3. Never use any alcohol-containing detergents to clean matt black painted
appliances as these detergents cause colour-changes.
4. Clean the glass panels
with a suitable detergent only.
5. When you clean or replace the grease filters or the carbon filters also clean all
visible components on the bottom of the appliance with a mild, non- acrid and
fat-dissolving detergent.
6. Do not damage the grid of metal-made grease filters. The colour of the metal
surface may change due to frequent cleaning as well as the use of aggressive
detergents. Such changes do not influence the capacity of the appliance and are
no reason for complaint.
7. Do not use any abrasive detergents or vinegar cleaners.
8. Do not use a steam cleaner. RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK!
