how to clean an HPB rangehood's filters and reset its reminder
for the listed HPB models, the red clean-filter reminder calls for filter care rather than immediate part replacement. support and remove the filters, wash and dry them, then refit securely before resetting the reminder.
a red fan or power button is a different warning and needs its own troubleshooting.

when to get help
- do not run the hood without its filters. red fan or power buttons are different warnings and need their own troubleshooting.
steps
- switch off and cool
turn the hood off and disconnect its power at a safely reachable switch. wear gloves and support each filter with both hands.
- wash and dry the filters
on the listed HPB models, hold each filter by its handles with both hands. pull it towards you against the springs, lower its back and withdraw it from the front. wash with hot water and mild liquid detergent, rinse and dry fully. refit securely as the exact guide shows.
- reset the filter reminder
restore power only after refitting the filters, then press and hold the clean-filter button.
