Cleaning The Grease Filters - Husqvarna QC520 User Manual

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 (see picture):
1. Grab hold of the handle and push the filter
backwards.
2. Pulling the filter down at the front and removing
it forwards.
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.
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.

dergent. Replace in reverse order.
Changing the light
