A working hood is the key to comfort and cleanliness in the kitchen. In order for the hood to fulfill its function, it is necessary to clean the metal filter from time to time, which is clogged with particles of fat during operation.

- - Large pot or bucket of water
- - Half a glass of drinking soda
- - ammonia
- - Aerosol cleaner for intensive cleaning of greasy surfaces
Instruction manual
1
Remove the filter from the hood. Place a large pan on the stove, the diameter of which will be sufficient to fit the filter there, and bring the water to a boil.
2
After the water boils, add soda in small portions. When all the soda has dissolved, lower the filter into boiling water for a few minutes.
3
To eliminate the most severe contaminants, add ammonia to hot water (100 ml of ammonia to 3.5 liters of water). Place the filter in a container. After a while, traces of fat will disappear.
4
Thoroughly rinse the filter from the hood in warm water and dry. After that, the grill can be used again.
5
If the filter has not been cleaned for several months, the previous methods may not be very effective. In this case, use a factory product for intensive cleaning of greasy surfaces: Cilit Bang, Radiance, Sanita, Sano Forte Plus, Oven Cleaner, etc. The most effective aerosol products. Apply aerosol foam liberally to the filter grate and make sure that the cleaning agent covers all contaminated areas. Leave the product on the wire shelf for a long time. Depending on the contamination of the filter, the duration of cleaning can be from 3-4 hours to a day. Gradually, old fat will dissolve. Rinse the filter thoroughly in warm running water and repeat the procedure if necessary if any dirt remains on the grill.

Do not forget to use gloves and personal protective equipment when working. Many cleaning products contain corrosive chemicals that should not get on the skin.
Useful advice
Be sure to ventilate the kitchen while using ammonia.
It is recommended to wash the filter at least once every two weeks. This will help to avoid the appearance of unnecessary contaminants and significantly simplify the cleaning process.
