 WARNING: TO REDUCE THE
RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK,
OR INJURY TO PERSONS,
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
 Before cleaning or servicing the
hood, disconnect it from the power
supply, see “IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS”.
Stainless steel housing
General information
 The surfaces and control buttons
are susceptible to scratching and
chipping.
Observe the following cleaning
instructions.
 Clean all surfaces and control buttons
using warm water and liquid dish
soap. Apply with a sponge cloth.
 Make sure that no water gets
into the interior of the hood.
Only use a damp cloth to clean the
hood, especially in the control panel
area.
 After cleaning, dry the surfaces with a
soft cloth.
Avoid the following:
– Cleaners containing soda, acid or
chloride, or cleaners containing
solvents
– Abrasive sponges, e.g. pot scourers
or sponges which have been
previously used with abrasive
cleaning agents.
Grease filters
 Risk of fire!
Oversaturated grease filters are a fire
hazard.
Clean the grease filters at regular
intervals.
The reusable metal grease filters in the
appliance remove the solid particles
contained in kitchen vapors (grease,
dust, etc.), thereby preventing the
ventilation hood from becoming dirty.
The grease filters must be cleaned at
regular intervals.
Heavily soiled grease filters hinder air
extraction and will lead to increased
levels of soiling in the ventilation hood
and in the kitchen.
Cleaning intervals
Accumulated grease solidifies over a
longer period of time and makes
cleaning more difficult. The grease
filters should therefore be cleaned every
3 to 4 weeks.
