Cleaning and Maintenance
Change and clean the grease filter:
You can remove the grease filters following the instruction of Pic 13 and Pic 14, and clean the filters
as below:
1. Put the filter in the water(40℃-50℃), pour in some grease-loosening detergent, soak it for
about 2-3 minutes and then clean it with a soft brush. Do not brush too hard, in case to damage
the filter.
2. Also can put the filter into a dishwasher with detergent for cleaning. Set the temperature at
around 60℃.
If the cooker hood works for 1-2 hours at average per day, change the filter cloth every 8-10 weeks.
