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.
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.
MONTHLY CLEANING OF ALUMINIUM 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: eiQTMGREASE2
REPLACEMENT OF ACTIVE CARBON FILTER
These are only required in units that have been installed in recirculation mode

washable or reusable.
