5. Cleaning & Maintenance
Touch Button Control Panel
Cleaning the Interior
Clean the interior of the rangehood with a damp cloth and a neutral detergent or denatured alcohol.
NOTE: Do not use denatured alcohol on the exterior of the rangehood. Do not clean the electric parts or
the motor with liquids or solvents
Cleaning the Oil Drip Tray
Clean the oil drip tray regularly, remove lters from the rangehood then remove drip tray from the motor.
Cleaning the Exterior
We recommended using a soft cloth, water and a liquid soap, rinsing it well and then drying it thoroughly.
For better results, you can use high quality cleaning and protection products (e.g. Steel Kleen) to clean
your rangehood.
• The recommended detergent is a solution of water and a neutral
liquid soap.
• It is very important for the liquid soap to not contain granules
that could scratch the surface.
• First apply the solution to a soft cloth and then rub the cloth
over the rangehood.
• Do not pour any liquid directly on to the rangehood.
• The cloth must have no buttons, zips or fasteners that could
scratch the surface.
• It is strictly forbidden to use chemical solvents, aggressive,
grainy or abrasive products, naphtha, alcohol or similar products
that could damage the surface of the rangehood.
• The manufacturer will not be held responsible for functional or
aesthetic damage caused by cleaning with products which are
not suitable or using inadequate cleaning methods.

Warning
Always switch o and disconnect power before cleaning.

5. Cleaning & Maintenance
To remove the lter press handle and remove
it through the front guide; bend it slightly and
remove lter. To replace, perform the same
operation but in reverse.
Filters
For this appliance to function eectively, regular maintenance is a must.
• The function of the lter is to absorb the grease particles given o during cooking.
• Clogged lters and heavy oil deposits restrict airow and may cause the motor to overheat
and become a re hazard.
• Filters should be cleaned every 3-6 weeks or after 40 hours of use.
• For induction cooktop, please aim to clean them at least every 10 days, depending on use.
• The lters can be washed by hand or in the dishwasher.
–Washing by hand - Immerse the lter in hot water and a suitable detergent and when clean,
rinse with plenty of hot water.
–Dishwasher - Put the lter in the dishwasher and select a short program at low temperature.
NOTE: The colour of the metal mesh lters may change after several washes. This is normal and
it is not necessary to change the lters.
Please ensure the lters are completely dry before placing them back in position
and operating the rangehood.
Warning
• If the grease lters are very dirty, the motor will extract only a small quantity of air,
which reduces its eciency;
• The grease deposits that build up on the lter are highly ammable and COULD
EASILY CATCH FIRE.
• The manufacturer is exonerated from all responsibility in the event of re due to poor
maintenance of the grease lters.
Replacing the Lights
Always switch o and disconnect the power cord before replacing any lights. Failure to do so may
cause serious injury. Please be aware that the light will retain heat for a short period of time after
being switched o. Never attempt to replace the lights by yourself, always refer to a qualied Service
Technician.
