MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
•
Always disconnect the power before cleaning.
•
The hood must be cleaned regularly to ensure optimal operation and long service life.
•
Grease and dust debris collect in the filter and may risk igniting with insufficient cleaning.
•
The hood should be cleaned inside and out frequently to avoid grease stains on walls or
other surfaces.
DAILY CLEANING
•
For cupboard-integrated, free-hanging and wall-mounted hoods, Thermex recommends
that the grease filter be wiped with a damp cloth after each cooking session. It requires
very little effort every day to keep your cooker hood clean and effective.
•
Steel surfaces are cleaned with a damp cloth with detergent and treated with 3M Polish.
•
Lacquered surfaces should be cleaned with a damp cloth with detergent/washing-up
liquid. Never use abrasives.
CLEANING THE GREASE FILTERS
Grease filters should be cleaned as needed. Thermex recommends as a minimum that the filter
is cleaned at the following intervals, depending on the fat used for frying:
•
Frying margarine - filter cleaned every 3 weeks
•
Liquid margarine - filter cleaned every 2 weeks
•
Oil - filter cleaned once per week
•
Deep fat frying - filter cleaned 2-3 times per week
The grease filter shall be cleaned in the following manner:
•
Remove the filter from the hood by pulling the lock on the filter. NOTE: It is important to
keep a tight hold of the filter, as it can cause damage if dropped.
•
Place the filter in warm, soapy water and clean if necessary with a soft brush.
•
Rinse with warm water.
•
Place the filters on a dishcloth or similar to dry.
•
Repeat the process if necessary.
•
Reattach the filter.
The filters can also be washed in the dishwasher, although please note that machine washing
can result in discolouration of the filters. Discolouration of the filters does not affect perfor-
mance.
