6.2 Using the Chimney

7. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your chimney. Always disconnect the power supply before cleaning.
7.1 Cleaning Baffle Filters
The Nobelo DHC 60 uses baffle filters, which are highly effective at separating grease. These filters should be cleaned regularly, depending on your cooking frequency.
- Removal: Locate the filter latches, typically on the underside of the chimney. Push or pull the latch to release the filter and carefully slide it out.
- Cleaning: Wash the filters in hot, soapy water or a dishwasher. For stubborn grease, a degreasing agent can be used. Rinse thoroughly.
- Reinstallation: Ensure filters are completely dry before reinserting them. Slide them back into place and secure the latches.
7.2 Cleaning Exterior Surfaces
Wipe the stainless steel exterior with a soft cloth dampened with mild detergent and water. Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
7.3 LED Light Lamps
The LED light lamps are designed for long life. If a lamp requires replacement, contact qualified service personnel.

| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
