Keep the grease filter clean to prevent a fire hazard. ^ To remove the grease filter pull the locking clip forward. Support the grease filter so that it does not fall onto the cooktop. 17 Cleaning and care Cleaning the grease filter ^ By hand: use a scrub brush with a solution of warm water and mild detergent. Do not use the pure detergent, aggressive all purpose cleaners, oven sprays, abrasive cleaning agents or limescale removers. ^ In a dishwasher: place the filter vertically in the lower basket, making sure that the spray arm is not blocked. Depending on the detergent, cleaning the grease filter in a dishwasher may cause permanent discoloration of the filter surface. ^ While the filter is removed, clean any dirt or grease from the interior casing to prevent the risk of fire. ^ When putting the grease filter back make sure that the locking clip is facing the cooking surface. ^ If the filter is incorrectly installed, insert a small screwdriver into the slit along its edge to disengage it from the casing. ^ After returning the grease filter, press the grease filter button for 3 seconds to reset the timer. ^ If the grease filter is cleaned before the grease filter timer has reached its maximum, the grease filter button should be pressed for 6 seconds to reset the counter to zero. 18 Cleaning and care Changing the light bulb Before changing the light bulbs, disconnect the hood from the power supply by either removing the fuse, unplugging it, or manually "tripping" the circuit breaker. When in use halogen bulbs become extremely hot, and can burn your hands. Do not attempt to change the bulbs until they have had sufficient time to cool.

Before discarding an old hood, unplug it from the outlet and cut off its power cord to prevent hazards. 23 Structural support The ceiling mounting plate will support the weight of the hood.
