Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your extractor hood.

Cleaning the Grease Filters:

• Grease filters should be cleaned regularly (approximately every 2-4 weeks, depending on usage) to prevent grease buildup and maintain extraction efficiency.
• To remove, locate the release latches on the filters and pull them down.
• Wash the filters by hand in hot soapy water or in a dishwasher on a low-temperature cycle.
• Ensure filters are completely dry before re-installing.

Replacing Activated Carbon Filters (for recirculation mode):

• Activated carbon filters are used when the hood operates in recirculation mode (without external venting). They absorb odors.
• These filters cannot be washed and must be replaced approximately every 3-6 months, depending on usage.
• Refer to the specific instructions for your model on how to access and replace the carbon filters.
• Use only genuine KKT KOLBE replacement filters (e.g., KKT KOLBE Aktivkohlefilter, certified according to DVN:5001).

Cleaning the Hood Surface:

• Clean the stainless steel and glass surfaces with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaning agent.
• Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasive pads, or steam cleaners, as these can damage the surface.
• Wipe dry immediately to prevent water spots.
