- To remove the filter, locate the release clips or handles and gently pull the filter downwards or outwards.
- Wash the filter by hand in hot soapy water or in a dishwasher (ensure it is suitable for dishwasher cleaning).
- Rinse thoroughly and allow to dry completely before re-installing.

Cleaning the Exterior
Clean the exterior surfaces of the hood with a soft cloth dampened with mild detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners, corrosive detergents, or harsh brushes, as these can damage the finish.
Replacing Halogen Lights
If a halogen bulb needs replacement, ensure the hood is disconnected from the power supply and the bulb has cooled down. Carefully remove the old bulb and replace it with a new one of the same type and wattage (2 x 40W halogen).
