5. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Cleaning aluminium filters
Do not use corrosive detergents to clean grease from the aluminium filters. Regular cleaning
of the aluminium filters will prolong the life of the appliance and keep it in good working order.
Figure 5 shows how to release the filter from the kitchen hood.
Follow the instructions below:
Cleaning method
1.
Immerse the aluminium filters in hot water (40-50 °C), add neutral detergent and let them
soak for 2 to 3 minutes. Protect yourself with gloves and clean the filters with a soft brush
or scouring pad. Do not apply too much force, as filters are very delicate and can be easily
damaged.
2. If you wish, you can also wash the filters in the dishwasher at a temperature of approx.
60 °C.
Cleaning
-
Always switch off the power supply before cleaning or performing any maintenance work
on the kitchen hood.
-
To prevent the outer surface of the kitchen hood from deteriorating over time, it is
recommended that it be cleaned with hot water and a non-corrosive detergent every two
months.
-
Do not use abrasive detergents. Otherwise, the surface of the kitchen hood may be
damaged.
-
Keep the motor and other parts away from water, as water may damage the appliance.
-
The carbon filter must not be exposed to heat.
Carbon filter
-
This type of filter has activated carbon and purifies air and absorbs cooking odours.
The activated carbon becomes saturated after a period of time, which will reduce the
adsorption capacity of the filter. The carbon filter cannot be washed nor cleaned in any
way.
-
When the kitchen hood is used regularly, the activated carbon filter should be replaced
according to the frequency of use. If frying more frequently, shorten this interval.
1.
Remove the aluminium filters.
2.
The carbon filters are located on both sides of the motor. Turn the filters, until they are
firmly in place.
3.
To replace the carbon filter, proceed in reverse order.
