Maintenance and cleaning
Before doing any maintenance work on the hood, disconnect it from the main supply by disconnecting the plug from the wall socket or unscrewing the fuse. Clean the filter regularly. The grease that collects in the filter and the duct could ignite if a hot plate is left on (or if overheating occurs).
Cleaning the hood
Clean the outside of the hood using a damp cloth and a mild detergent. Never use corrosive, abrasive or flammable cleaning products.
Cleaning the grease filters
Clean the filter every month or every other month according to how much the hood is used. The cleaner the filters, the better it collects grease. Remove the filter by (Fig. 3): � Push the handles towards the centre of the hood � Pull the filter down to remove. The filter is made of aluminium wires on which the grease collects. Clean the filter in hot water using a detergent, or in a dishwasher. Let the filter dry before putting it back. Note that a dishwasher may discolour the filter.

Mounting the carbon filter
Only applicable for recirculation. The carbon filters absorb smells and odours. The carbon filter cannot be washed nor regenerated. The carbon filter should be replaced every 6 months under normal use. Ask the technical assistance service or manufacturing company for a new one. After approximately three years of use, the KF2000 filter should be replaced with a new, as the odour reduction capacity will be reduced. Mounting the carbon filter (Fig. 2): � Unplug the unit or disconnect it from the power supply � Remove the metal grease filter. Fig. 3 � Fit the carbon filter and fix it to the body of the hood with two supplied screws. Fig. 4. � Refit the metal grease filters. To dismount proceed in reverse order.
