5. Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your kitchen hood. Always disconnect the appliance from the power supply before performing any cleaning or maintenance.
5.1. Cleaning the Exterior
- Wipe the stainless steel surfaces 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.
- Dry thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth to prevent water spots.
5.2. Cleaning Aluminum Grease Filters
The hood is equipped with 5-layer aluminum grease filters. These should be cleaned regularly (approximately every 2-4 weeks, depending on usage) to maintain suction efficiency and prevent grease buildup.

- Wash the filters by hand in hot soapy water or in a dishwasher on a low-temperature cycle.
- Ensure filters are completely dry before re-installing.
- Re-insert the filters by aligning them and pushing them into place until the latch clicks.
5.3. Replacing Carbon Filters (for Recirculating Mode)
If your hood is operating in recirculating mode, the Ø176 carbon filters absorb odors. These filters cannot be washed and must be replaced approximately every 3-6 months, depending on usage.
