MAINTENANCE
Before cleaning, switch the unit off and pull out the plug, or switch off at the relevant mains
switch if the unit has been hard-wired in. Make sure the unit has no power being fed to it.
I. REGULAR CLEANING
Use a soft cloth moistened with hand-warm mildly soapy water or household cleaning
detergent. Never use metal pads, chemicals, abrasive material or a stiff brush to clean the unit.
Note! Do not use a steam-cleaner to clean the hood; electrical components could be damaged
or short-circuit as a result.
II. MONTHLY CLEANING FOR METALLIC ANTI-GREASE FILTER
ESSENTIAL NOTE: Clean the filter every month; an excessive build-up of grease can become
a fire hazard. The filter collects grease, smoke and dust, so the filter directly affects the
efficiency of the cooker hood. If it’s not cleaned, the grease residue (potentially flammable) will
saturate on the filter.
Remove the filter as shown in the Installation section. Clean it with a soft nylon brush in a mild
solution of warm water and a small amount of washing up liquid. Washing up liquid alone
should not be used. After cleaning, allow the filter to drain and then dry thoroughly.
The grease filter may also be dishwasher cleaned; using a 60°C program, with the filter upright
(short sides upright) in the lower basket. Please be aware some dishwasher cleaning agents
can permanently discolour the filter, though this will not affects its performance.
Replacement grease filters are available from the same stockist from which you purchased the
hood:
60cm models: eiQTMGREASE1 x 2
90cm models: eIQTMGREASE2 x 3
III. REPLACEMENT FOR ACTIVATED CARBON FILTER
These are only required in units that have been installed in recirculation mode (not vented to
the outside). This filter traps odours and must be replaced ideally every 3-6 months depending
on how frequently the cooker hood has been used.
