Optional Carbon pad filters
We recommend that the chimney hood
is switched on before any food is
cooked. We also recommend that the
chimney hood is left running for 15
minutes after the food is cooked, in
order to thoroughly eliminate all
contaminated air. The effective
performance of the chimney hood
depends on constant maintenance; the
anti-grease filter and the active carbon
filter both require special attention.
• Remove the plastic outer protective
lining on the grease filters before fitting
them to the chimney hood.
• To fit the filters, engage the two lugs at
the rear of each filter into the
rectangular slots of the extractor hood
frame, lift the filter and press the handle
catch inwards.
• Engage the filter and release the catch.
• To remove the filter, for cleaning
purposes, reverse the procedure
described above.
• The anti-grease filter is used to trap
any grease particles suspended in the
air, therefore is subject to saturation
(the time it takes for the filter to
become saturated depends on the way
in which the appliance is used).
To prevent potential fire hazards, the
anti-grease filters should be washed a
minimum of every 2 months (it is
possible to use the dishwasher for this
task).
After a few washes, the colour of the
filters may change. This does not mean
they have to be replaced.
If the replacement and washing
instructions are not followed, the anti-
grease filters may present a fire hazard.
Grease filters
• Carbon pad filters assist in removing
any unwanted cooking odours from the
atmosphere.
• If your installation ducts filtered air to
the outside, the carbon pad filters are
not required.
• Should you require them, factory
approved, carbon pad filters and
installation kits may be purchased from
your nearest Defy Service Centre or
their authorised agents.
The Carbon pad filters are used to purify
the air which is released back into the
room.
The filters are not washable or re-usable
and must be replaced at least once every
four months. The active carbon filter
saturation level depends on the frequency
with which the appliance is used, the type
of cooking performed and the regularity
with which the anti-grease filters are
cleaned.
