Maintenance of cooker hoods

• What is the best way to clean my cooker hood?

  • A Novy cooker hood is easy to maintain if you remember the following:

    1. For regular maintenance:
    • Use a damp and dry cloth to clean surfaces.
    • Use warm water and a mild cleaning product.
    • Do not use aggressive, abrasive or chlorinated products.
    • Dry the surface afterwards with a dry cloth.
    2. Once every two to three months:
    • After step 1 we recommend a Novy stainless steel cleaner for optimum cleaning of the stainless steel cooker hood.
    • This is a soft nourishing mousse that leaves no traces of grease and is easy to use.
    • It is recommended to apply the mousse to a damp cloth and then wipe the whole surface being cleaned using a circular motion.
    • Afterwards, shine with a dry cloth. 

    
    
    If you use another stainless steel cleaner, we recommend testing it on the inside first and leaving for 24 hours. If there is no reaction, you can clean your cooker hood using this product.

    • Clean annually:
      
      Almost all cooker hoods have a cleaning indicator that lights up after 400 hours and indicates that the monoblock filter needs to be regenerated. The filter can be cleaned up to 6 times. This ensures a long service life of the filter. To regenerate the filter, place it in the oven at 100-120°C for 1 hour.

• How should I maintain my grease filter(s)?

  • The extraction capacity falls when the grease filters are saturated and do not allow as much air through.

    • It is best to clean the grease filter once a month. Cooker hoods with an electronic switch indicate that the grease filter has to be cleaned after 20 hours of cooking
    • Novy filters consist of multiple layers of metal mesh and are dishwasher safe.
    • You can also soak the filter in hot water with soda or detergent.
    • We recommend replacing the filter after about 5 years to maintain optimum results.
