6. Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficiency of your AVERA CEN90B range hood.
Cleaning the Exterior:
- Wipe the stainless steel surfaces with a soft cloth dampened with mild detergent and water.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals that can scratch or damage the finish.
- Dry thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth to prevent water spots.
Cleaning/Replacing Grease Filters:
The metal grease filters should be cleaned regularly (approximately every 2-4 weeks, depending on usage) to maintain optimal extraction performance.
- Removal: Locate the release latches on the filters. Push the latch and pull the filter downwards to remove it.
- Cleaning: Wash the filters by hand in hot water with a mild detergent or in a dishwasher. Ensure they are completely dry before reinstallation.
- Reinstallation: Insert the clean, dry filters back into their slots, ensuring they click securely into place.
Replacing Activated Carbon Filters (for recirculation mode):
Activated carbon filters are not washable and must be replaced periodically (typically every 3-6 months, depending on usage) to effectively remove odors.
- Removal: Remove the metal grease filters first. The carbon filters are usually located around the motor housing. Twist or unclip them to remove.
- Replacement: Install new activated carbon filters, ensuring they are correctly seated.
- Reinstall Grease Filters: Place the metal grease filters back into position.
