Filters and maintenance
Grease filters:
Metal-mesh filters are used to trap the
grease particles in the cooking vapours.
The filter mats are made from non-
combustible metal.
Caution:
As the filter becomes more and more satu-
rated with grease, there is an increased risk
of fire and the function of the extractor
hood may be impaired.
Important:
❑
Clean the metal-mesh grease filters at
regular intervals to prevent the risk of fire
from the accumulation of heat when
deep-fat frying or roasting.
❑
If used in normal mode (daily 1 to 2
hours), the metal-mesh grease filter must
be cleaned 1x a month.
Saturation indicator:
%
When the grease filter is saturated, the
indicator starts flashing.
You should now change the grease filter if
you have not already done so.
❑
Ensure that the grease filters are cleaned
at regular intervals (approx. 1 month).
Cleaning the metal-mesh grease filters:
❑ The filters can be cleaned in a
dishwasher. However, they may become
slightly discoloured.
Important:
Do not wash highly saturated metal-
mesh grease filters with other utensils.
❑ If cleaning the filters by hand, soak them in
a hot soap solution. Then brush the filters,
rinse thoroughly and leave to drain.
ṇ Clean the support frame for the grease
filters by hand.
