into the right and left sides of the
extractor-hood housing and attach each
holder with a screw (required only if

reverse sequence.

Replacing the activated carbon filter:
During normal operation (1 to 2 hours daily),
the activated carbon filter should be
replaced approx. 1 x year. The activated
carbon filter can be obtained from
specialist retailers (see Optional
accessories).
❑ To ensure the best possible results,
use only original filters.
Disposal of the old activated carbon
filter:
❑ Activated carbon filters do NOT contain
any pollutants, i.e. they can be disposed
of as household rubbish.
Cleaning and care
For appliances with a glass plate in the
pull-out vapour extractor:
❑ The glass plate is easily removed and
can be cleaned in a dishwasher.
❑ To remove the lugs, push outwards.
Isolate the extractor hood by pulling out
the mains plug or switching off the fuse.
Do not clean the extractor hood with
abrasive sponges or with cleaning agents
which contain sand, soda, acid or chlorine!
❑ Clean the extractor hood with a hot soap
solution or a mild window cleaner.
❑ Do not scrape off dried-on dirt but wipe
off with a damp cloth.
❑ When cleaning the grease filters, remove
grease deposits from accessible parts of
the housing. This prevents the risk of fire
and ensures that the extractor hood
continues operating at maximum
efficiency.
❑ Note: Do not use alcohol (spirit) on
plastic surfaces, as dull marks may
appear.
Caution: Ensure that the kitchen is ade-
quately ventilated. Avoid naked flames!
Clean the operating buttons with a mild
soapy solution and a soft, damp cloth only.
Do not use stainless-steel cleaner to clean
the operating buttons.
Stainless steel surfaces:
❑ Use a mild non-abrasive stainless steel
cleaner.
❑ Clean the surface in the same direction
as it has been ground and polished.
❑ We recommend our stainless steel
cleaner no. 461731.
See enclosed service booklet for order
address.
Aluminium and plastic surfaces:
❑ Do not use dry cloths.
❑ Use a mild window cleaning agent.
❑ Do not use aggressive, acidic or caustic
cleaners.
