Avoid: ­ cleaning agents containing soda, acids or chlorides, ­ abrasive cleaning agents e. g. pot scourers or sponges which have been previously used with abrasive cleaning agents, ­ limescale removers. Cleaning the casing Never use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, steel wool or caustic (oven) cleaners on the hood. ^ All external surfaces and controls can be cleaned with a mild solution of warm water and liquid dish soap applied with a soft sponge. ^ Glass surfaces can be cleaned using a glass cleaner. These will damage the surface. The following instructions for cleaning "Stainless steel" surfaces and "Stainless steel colored controls" should be followed in addition to the general "Cleaning the casing" instructions. Stainless steel Stainless steel surfaces can be cleaned using a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner. To help prevent resoiling, a conditioner for stainless steel can be applied. Stainless steel colored controls These controls may become discolored or damaged if not cleaned regularly. Do not use a stainless steel cleaner on these controls. 17 Cleaning and Care Grease filters The reusable metal grease filters remove solid particles from the vented kitchen air (grease, dust, etc). ^ In a dishwasher: place the filters vertically in the lower basket, making sure that the spray arm is not blocked. Depending on the detergent, cleaning the grease filters in a dishwasher may cause permanent discoloration of the filter surface. ^ While the filters are removed, clean any dirt or grease from the filter casing to prevent the risk of fire. When putting the grease filters back make sure that the locking clips are visibly facing the cooking surface. Cleaning the grease filters ^ By hand: use a scrub brush with a solution of warm water and mild detergent. Do not use the pure detergent, aggressive all purpose cleaners, oven sprays or limescale removers. If the filters are incorrectly installed, insert a small screwdriver into the slit along its edge to disengage it from the casing. ^ After returning the grease filters, press and hold the grease filter button for 3 seconds to reset the timer. ^ If the grease filters are cleaned before the grease filter timer has reached its maximum, press the grease filter button for 6 seconds to reset the counter to zero. The grease filters should be cleaned every 3 - 4 weeks, when the grease filter indicator lights, or when they are visibly dirty, whichever comes first. , A dirty filter is a fire hazard. 18 Cleaning and Care Active charcoal filter In recirculation mode an active charcoal filter must be used in addition to the grease filters. The active charcoal filter will be replaced in the canopy above the grease filters. [. . . ] Exhaust ducting and connections ­ The ducting should be as short and straight as possible, and the number of sharp bends should be minimized. ­ For most efficient air extraction, the diameter of the ductwork should not be less than 6" (150 mm). ­ Noise levels of the hood will increase if flat ducts or round ducts of less than 6" (150 mm) in diameter are used. ­ Use smooth or flexible pipes made from approved non-flammable materials for exhaust ducting.
