Grease filters
The re-usable metal grease filters in the
appliance remove solid particles
(grease, dust, etc.) from the kitchen
vapours, preventing soiling of the
cooker hood.
The grease filters should be cleaned at
least every 3-4 weeks to avoid a
build-up of grease, but always clean
immediately if the grease filter touch
control lamp comes on.
An oversaturated filter is a fire
hazard.
^
To take out the grease filters, release
the locking clip on the filter, lower the
filter 45°, unhook it at the back and
remove it.
To avoid damaging the filters or the
hob below, make sure you hold the
filters securely at all times when
handling them.
Cleaning the grease filters by hand
^
Clean the filters with a soft nylon
brush in a mild solution of hot water
and a little washing-up liquid.
Do not use:
–
cleaning agents containing
descaling agents,
–
alkaline cleaning agents (with a pH
value higher than 7), such as powder
cleaners, cream cleaners or abrasive
all-purpose cleaning agents,
–
oven sprays.
Cleaning the grease filters in the
dishwasher
^ Place the filters with the short side
upright in the lower basket, and wash
on a 65° programme using a mild
dishwasher detergent, ensuring the
spray arm is not obstructed.
Avoid alkaline dishwasher detergents
(with a pH value higher than 7).
Depending on the cleaning agent
used, cleaning the filters in a
dishwasher can cause permanent
discolouration to the surface.
However, this will not affect the
functioning of the filters in any way.
^
After cleaning, leave the filters to dry
on an absorbent surface before
replacing them.
