Maintenance

Cleaning

Cooker hood

Clean the cooker hood with soapy water and a soft cloth. Then rinse with clean water. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents such as caustic soda.

Metal grease filters

Place the grease filters with the openings facing downwards in the dishwasher so the water can drain out of the filter. Aluminium grease filters become dull as a result of dishwasher cleaning agents. This is normal and does not affect the work.

Cleaning

The filters can be cleaned in the dishwasher. Allow the filters to drain well before replacing. Clean the filters in soapy water with washing-up liquid and rinse. Allow the filters to drain well. Dry off with a paper towel.

Tips for energy-efficient cooking with hoods

• Use a low extractor setting and use the highest setting (boost) only if necessary.
• A well-ventilated kitchen makes the range hood more efficient.
• Clean filters regularly and replace filters when needed to keep the filter efficiency high, as a saturated filter cannot perform and leads to longer usage times.
