Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Klarstein Beretta Island Exhaust Hood. Always disconnect the appliance from the power supply before performing any cleaning or maintenance.

Cleaning the Grease Filter:

The aluminum grease filter should be cleaned regularly, depending on usage (typically every 2-4 weeks). A dirty filter can reduce suction power and pose a fire risk.

1. Open the filter clips and remove the aluminum grease filter from the hood.
2. Wash the filter by hand in hot soapy water or in a dishwasher (use a mild detergent and low temperature cycle).
3. Rinse thoroughly and allow the filter to dry completely before re-installing.
4. Re-install the dry filter, ensuring it clicks securely into place.

Replacing the Activated Carbon Filter (for Recirculation Mode):

Activated carbon filters are used for odor absorption in recirculation mode and cannot be washed. They need to be replaced periodically, typically every 3-6 months, depending on usage.

• Remove the aluminum grease filter to access the activated carbon filters.
• Twist or unclip the old activated carbon filters to remove them.
• Install new activated carbon filters, ensuring they are securely attached.
• Re-install the aluminum grease filter.

Replacement activated carbon filters are available under item number 10027530.

General Cleaning:

• Wipe the exterior surfaces of the hood with a soft cloth dampened with mild detergent.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the stainless steel finish.
• Dry all surfaces thoroughly after cleaning.
