Extractor Hood
When cooking, greasy vapors and unpleasant smells rise, which primarily collect directly in the filter of the extractor hood. This contamination can affect the longterm service life of the device after a while. In addition, heavy contamination in the filters represents a fire risk. You should therefore regularly clean the extractor hood from the outside as well as from the inside. With the Thermostar dry steam cleaner, these fat deposits can be thoroughly removed. Advantage: You not only clean the device easily and hygienically with water, but you opt for an environmentally friendly alternative to chemical cleaning agents.
Cleaning a dirty extractor hood:
This is how it works
Clean the extractor hood from the outside and inside
The surfaces of an extractor hood are mainly made of stainless steel or aluminum and therefore require different care. It is important to avoid using sharp objects or the hard side of a sponge. In particular, cleaning with chemical cleaning agents or well-known household remedies that supposedly promise impeccable cleaning sometimes requires a lot of time and effort. These products can also leave unsightly scratches on surfaces. With a dry steam cleaner you can remove dirt from surfaces quickly and efficiently – without any chemicals. Use the steam wand for the extractor hood and then wipe it with a microfiber cloth. If the surfaces are suitable for this, you can also clean the corners with the small nylon brush. The powerful jet of the dry steam cleaner easily reaches even the smallest gaps.
Cleaning metal grease filters with steam
Regardless of whether it is an extractor or recirculated air extractor hood: both versions have a grease filter. This is usually made of fine-mesh metal. The extractor hood can only work optimally if this filter is cleaned regularly. Use the steam lance to clean the grease filter. Simply blow through the filter with maximum steam. The closer the nozzle is to the metal filter, the better the end result. This means that you can really remove stubborn grease without leaving any residue. Then it is clean and hygienically pure again
