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 non-abrasive cleaner. Any abrasive cleaner
(including Cif) will scratch the surface and could erase the
control panel markings.
You can clean you extractor effectively by simply using a
dilute solution of water and mild detergent and drying to a
shine with a clean cloth, for example the CDA E-Cloth.
Cleaning the grease filter
The grease filters should be kept clean to minimise the risk
of fire.
At least once a month you should remove and clean the
grease filters with hot soapy water. You can also wash the
grease filters in a dishwasher, ensuring that you place it in an
upright position to prevent damage from other items in the
dishwasher. After rinsing and drying, replace the filters.
To remove the grease filters, pull open the handle on the
grease filter.. It will release at the handle side. Then lower the
grease filter to remove it completely. To replace the grease
filter, repeat the steps in reverse.
Please note:
Cleaning the grease filters in the dishwasher may lead to
discolouration. This is normal and does not constitute a fault
with the appliance.
Changing the 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.
To attach a new charcoal filter, first remove the grease filters
as described above. Then offer up the charcoal filter to the
side of the motor as shown in figure 2 and turn it clockwise
until it locks into place. Repeat with the other charcoal filter
on the other side of the motor. Then replace the grease
filters and cover panels.
