CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE EN WARNING! Unplug or disconnect the appliance from the power supply before servicing or cleaning. IMPORTANT! ●● Never use abrasive or oil based cleaners. ●● Wear gloves to protect against sharp edges. Maintenance The ventilation hood should be cleaned regularly using a mild, liquid detergent and a clean soft cloth to avoid a build-up of grease occurring.

Note: in areas of high humidity or coastal environments, cleaning should be carried out more frequently.
