Cooker Hoods - How to clean and care for your products
Cleaning your hood
Before cleaning or maintenance, switch off the electricity supply.
Outer casing / glass visors
All external parts of the outer casing can be safely cleaned with a clean cloth wrung out in hot soapy water.
Do not use
caustic pastes, abrasive cleaning powders, wire wool, hard implements,
or any products containing chlorides as they will damage the surface.
Stainless steel surfaces
Stubborn
marks can be removed using “G.D.H.A Stainless steel cleaner”. We
recommend that you clean the whole of the stainless steel area to
maintain a uniform finish.
Approved cleaning products can be purchased from our Spares Sales Department on: 0844 81 53 745.
Sharp objects can mark the surface of stainless steel, but marks will become less noticeable with time.
To
maintain the finish of the stainless steel, or to remove any grease
marks, wipe the stainless steel surface sparingly with a minimum amount
of Baby Oil and kitchen paper.
Do not use cooking oils, as these may contain salt, which can damage the stainless steel surface.
Cleaning your hood
Carbon filters
Models installed for use with re-circulation method only
The
carbon filters absorb cooking odours and need renewing after 4 months
of normal use. A replacement carbon filter can be obtained form G.D.H.A
Spares Sales Department on: 0844 81 53 745. The carbon filter can not
be washed.
Fit and removal of Carbon filters both round and rectangular

 | To replace the carbon filter pull tab B towards you and lower filter. To replace the new filter locate rear fixing tabs first, then raise filter into correct position. Fix into place once again with tab B. |
Grease filters
The grease filters absorb grease and dust from cooking fumes, which would otherwise damage the inside of the hood.
With
normal use, the grease filters should be washed every 2 weeks. Frequent
washing is essential to prevent a build up of grease in the filters,
which could become a fire hazard.
