4. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficient operation of your chimney hood.

4.1 Cleaning the Metal Grease Filter

The metal grease filters capture airborne grease particles. They should be cleaned regularly (approximately every 3-4 weeks, depending on usage) to maintain extraction efficiency and prevent fire hazards.

• To remove the filter, locate the latch or handle and pull it down/out.
• Wash the filter by hand in hot soapy water or in a dishwasher.
• Ensure the filter is completely dry before re-installing.

4.2 Replacing the Charcoal Filter (Recirculated Air Mode)

If your hood operates in recirculated air mode, it uses an activated charcoal filter to remove odors. These filters cannot be washed and must be replaced approximately every 3-6 months, depending on usage.

• Refer to your hood's specific instructions for accessing and replacing the charcoal filter.
• Use only genuine Bosch replacement filters.

4.3 Cleaning the Exterior

Clean the exterior surfaces of the hood with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaning agent. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive pads that could damage the finish.

4.4 Replacing Halogen Lamps

Ensure the hood is disconnected from the power supply before attempting to replace the lamps. Allow lamps to cool completely before handling.

• Carefully remove the lamp cover.
• Replace the faulty halogen lamp with a new one of the same type and wattage (2x30W).
• Reattach the lamp cover securely.
