Cleaning and care
Isolate the extractor hood by pulling out
the mains plug or switching off the fuse.
ṇ Do not clean the extractor hood with
abrasive sponges or with cleaning agents
which contain sand, soda, acid or chlorine!
❑ Clean the extractor hood with a hot soap
solution or a mild window cleaner.
❑ Do not scrape off dried-on dirt but wipe
off with a damp cloth.
❑ When cleaning the grease filters, remove
grease deposits from accessible parts of
the housing. This prevents the risk of fire
and ensures that the extractor hood
continues operating at maximum
efficiency.
ṇ Clean the operating buttons with a mild
soapy solution and a soft, damp cloth only.
Do not use stainless-steel cleaner to clean
the operating buttons.
Stainless steel surfaces:
❑ Use a mild non-abrasive stainless steel
cleaner.
❑ Clean the surface in the same direction
as it has been ground and polished.
❑ We recommend our stainless steel
cleaner no. 461731.
See enclosed service booklet for order

Aluminium, coated and plastic surfaces:
❑ Do not use dry cloths.
❑ Use a mild window cleaning agent.
