5.1 Cleaning the Exterior:

• Always disconnect the power supply before cleaning.

• The glass panel can be opened using the pistons for easier access and cleaning of the interior surfaces.

5.2 Cleaning Metallic Grease Filters:

• The metallic grease filters should be cleaned regularly, depending on usage (e.g., every 2-4 weeks).
• To remove filters, locate the release latches and pull them down.
• Filters can be washed by hand in hot soapy water or in a dishwasher. Ensure they are completely dry before re-installing.
• The additional removable tray can also be placed in the dishwasher for deep sanitization.

5.3 Regenerative Filters (Optional, for Recirculation Mode):

• If using the hood in recirculation mode with optional regenerative filters, these filters eliminate up to 95% of odors for approximately three years.
• Refer to the specific instructions provided with the regenerative filters for their cleaning or replacement schedule.
