6.2. Cleaning/Replacing Filters
Aluminum Grease Filters: These filters capture grease particles. They should be cleaned regularly (every 2-4 weeks, depending on usage) to maintain extraction efficiency.
- To remove: Locate the release latches on each filter, push, and pull down.
- To clean: Wash by hand in hot soapy water or in a dishwasher on a low-temperature cycle. Ensure they are completely dry before re-installing.
- To re-install: Insert the filters back into their slots and push until the latches click into place.
Active Carbon Filters (for recirculation mode): These filters absorb odors. They cannot be washed and must be replaced periodically (typically every 3-6 months, depending on usage).
- To replace: Remove the aluminum grease filters. Twist or unclip the old carbon filters from the motor housing. Install new carbon filters by reversing the process.
- Replacement carbon filters can be purchased from authorized dealers.
6.3. LED Light Replacement
The hood is equipped with long-lasting LED lights. If a light needs replacement, contact a qualified service technician. Do not attempt to replace the LED modules yourself.
For information on recycling light bulbs, please refer to local recycling guidelines.
