Care and Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your cooker hood.
Cleaning the Exterior
- Wipe the stainless steel surfaces with a soft cloth dampened with mild detergent and water.

- Dry thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth to prevent water spots.
Cleaning/Replacing Grease Filters
The 5-layer aluminum grease filters should be cleaned regularly (approximately every 2-4 weeks, depending on usage) to maintain suction efficiency and prevent grease buildup.
- Switch off and unplug the cooker hood from the power supply.
- Locate the filter latches and release the aluminum grease filters.

Replacing Carbon Filters
If your hood is used in recirculation mode (without external venting), the carbon filters absorb odors and should be replaced every 3-6 months, depending on usage.
