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

The range hood is equipped with baffle filters designed to trap grease particles. These filters must be cleaned regularly to maintain efficiency and prevent fire hazards.

• Frequency: Clean filters at least once a month, or more frequently depending on cooking habits.
• Removal: To remove, locate the release latches or handles on each filter. Disengage and carefully pull the filter downwards or outwards.
• Cleaning Method: Wash the filters by hand in hot soapy water or in a dishwasher. Ensure they are completely dry before re-installing.
• Re-installation: Insert the dry filters back into their slots, ensuring they are securely latched.

5.2 Exterior Cleaning

Clean the stainless steel exterior with a soft cloth and a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads, harsh detergents, or corrosive cleaners, as these can damage the finish.

5.3 LED Light Replacement

LED lights have a long lifespan. If replacement is necessary, contact a qualified service technician or refer to the detailed service manual for specific instructions.

6. Troubleshooting
