Care and Maintenance
IMPORTANT : DO NOT PERFORM MAINTENANCE OR CLEANING OF THE EXTRACTOR WITHOUT FIRST
SWITCHING OFF THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY.
Cleaning
You should use a nonabrasive cleaner. Any abrasive cleaner (including Cif) will scratch the surface and could erase the
control panel markings.
shine with a clean cloth.
Cleaning the (rectangular) grease filter
The grease filter captures grease particles in the air, so is therefore subject to clogging depending on the frequency of
use of the appliance.
In order to prevent fire hazard it is recommended to clean the grease filter at a maximum of 2 month intervals by
carrying out these instructions:
Depending on model, you may have either acrylic or aluminium grease filter(s).
Acrylic grease filter:
1. Remove the cover panel by pushing the fixing clips up and then lifting the panel forwards.
2. Remove the filter retaining wires from the cover panel.
3. Remove the grease filter and wash by hand in a lukewarm solution of water and mild detergent. Once clean
squeeze the grease filter but DO NOT wring it out. Clean the filter holder using a dilute solution of water and mild
detergent or with a damp cloth. Allow the grease filter to dry completely before reassembling the extractor.
4. Replace the grease filter in the cover panel and reattach the filter retaining wires.
5. Replace the cover panel by inserting the lugs on the upper side in the extractor, and then refasten the fixing clips
on the lower side.
Aluminium grease filters:
1. Remove the filters from the cooker hood and wash in a solution of warm water and neutral liquid detergent, leaving
to soak.
2. Rinse thoroughly with warm water and leave to dry.
3. The filters may alternatively be washed in the dishwasher. The aluminium panels may alter in colour after several
washes in a dishwasher. This is not a fault and is not cause for replacing the panels.

5
Changing the (circular) charcoal filter (re-circulating only):
To ensure best performance of your extractor, you should replace the charcoal filters every four to six months,
depending on use.
Please note the charcoal filter cannot be washed.
To attach a new charcoal filter, follow the steps below:
1. Remove the cover panel (acrylic filter model) or grease filter (aluminium filter model) as described above.
2. Place the charcoal filter on the centre of the motor support, and once firmly located turn the charcoal
filter clockwise 90º until the charcoal filter locks into position.
3. Replace the cover panel or grease filter that has been removed.
Changing the Light
DO NOT CHANGE THE LIGHT BULB IMMEDIATELY AFTER USE AS THE BULB WILL BE HOT. ALLOW IT TO
COOL BEFORE REMOVING IT.
Remove the cover panel as described above, unscrew the light bulb and replace the light with the required
light bulb as shown in the table below. Finally, replace the cover panel.
Do not touch bulbs or adjacent areas during or straight after prolonged use of the lights.
The light is designed for use during cooking and not for general room illumination. Extended use of the light
can reduce the life span of the bulb.
Bulb replacement is not covered by the guarantee.
Only use bulbs recommended for your extractor. Do not fit bulbs of a higher power rating. Bulbs of a lower
power rating may be adequate for use, generally last longer and use less energy.
Spare bulbs are available from THOR Customer Care or from your local DIY shop.

In re-circulating mode, air is vented back into the kitchen through the
opening in the cooker hood.
This method is advised if you are not using your hob intensively.
Re-circulated air requires the use of charcoal filters to remove odours.
