Cleaning and care
Cleaning of the surface
Risk of electric shock! Please separate the
extractor hood from the power supply
network by pulling the plug or the
disconnection of the fuse. Please pay
attention to the fact that no water seeps into
the appliance during the cleaning process.
Untimely cleaning of the surface saves later
a troublesome removing of stubborn
soiling. For the cleaning use only
commercial detergent or all-purpose
cleaners which are suitable for stainless
steel / aluminium. Please do not use
scouring agents or steel wool! After the
cleaning of the extractor hood please tend
the stainless steel surfaces with a high-
grade steel-care product.
Only with a light soapy water and a very soft
cloth varnished surfaces have to be
cleaned. Please clean the switch panel only
with a soft and damp-dry cloth.
By extractor hoods with a pane beneath the
metal grease filter ("Perimeter Extraction")
fatty deposits can occur on the edge of the
pane. These deposits are founded
physically and represent no dysfunction of
the extractor hood. Please clean the pane
beneath the filter regularly to prevent
stubborn soiling.
Cleaning and care instructions
When cleaning the grease filters, also
remove any grease deposits from the
accessible housing components. This will
prevent a fire hazard and maintain an
optimum range of functions. Use hot soapy
water or a mild window cleaning agent to
clean the hood. Do not scratch off baked-
on deposits. Soften them using a damp
cloth. Do not use abrasive agents or
scouring pads.
Note: Do not use alcohol (spirits) on plastic
surfaces, as dull spots may result.
Caution: Ventilate the kitchen sufficiently, no
open flame. Only clean the operating panel
with a soft damp cloth (mild detergent
solution). Do not use stainless steel
cleaners for the sliding switch/pressure
switch.

Stainless steel surfaces:
Use a mild and non-abrasive stainless
steel cleaning agent. Do not clean stainless
steel surfaces with abrasive scouring pads
or with cleaning agents containing sand,
soda, acid or chloride! Clean in direction of
polish only. We recommend our stainless
steel cleaner no. 461731. See the enclosed
service booklet for the order address.
Aluminium, varnished and plastic
surfaces:
Use a soft microfibre cloth. Do not use dry
cloths. Use a mild window-cleaning agent.
Do not use aggressive cleaning agents or
agents containing acid or lye! Do not use
scouring agents.
Exchange and cleaning of the filter*
Fire risk! The performance of the extractor
hood is affected by containing fat remains
and therefore the fire risk increases. To
prevent a fire risk please clean the metal
filter regularly. By models with a pane
beneath the filter ("Perimeter Extraction") the
pane has to be removed at first. For this
swing at first the small front glass pane
with one hand upwards and then take the
filter out at its grip. The metal grease filter
is fixed by a magnet. The installation is
made in reverse order. The metal grease
filter is to be cleaned at best in a
dishwasher or in hot soapy water. Aggres-
sive cleaners should not be used. The
guarantee can´t be applied if a discolouring
on the filter is a result of using an aggressi-
ve dishwashing liquid. Please avoid
temperatures over 55 degrees. Caution: Do
not wash grease filter together with silver
cutlery in the dishwasher! This leads to
destruction of the grease filter (galvanic
element, not a complaint claim)
Attention: do not use 3-phase-cleaners or
clean the filter in a commercial dishwasher.
The use of aggressive cleaners like fuel,
acetone, trichlorethylene destroys the filter!
Reinstate the metal filter after the cleaning.
By models using the "Perimeter Extraction"
method the pane has to be brought
afterwards in its original position. Therefore
please press the pane with both hands
upwards to a certain extent (lock in of the
pane).
