Filters and maintenance
❑ If there are two grease filters, remove
the front one first.
3. Fold the filter frame down at the side and
remove.
Installation:
1. Pull out the filter drawer all the way.
2. Insert the filter frame at an angle into the
holder, fold up and attach by pressing
the detent all the way.
❑ If there are two grease filters, first
insert the rear filter frame and then the
front filter frame (profiled edge) into the
filter drawer.
ṇ Ensure that the grease filters are
securely positioned on both sides.
Metal-mesh grease filters have been
installed to filter grease particles out of
the kitchen fumes.
The filter mats are made of incombustible
metal.
Attention:
As grease accumulates in the filter, there is
an increased risk of the filter catching fire
and the extractor hood may malfunction.
Important:
By cleaning the metal grease filters at
appropriate intervals, the possibility of them
catching fire as a result of a build-up of heat
such as occurs when deep-fat frying or
roasting is taking place, is reduced.
Cleaning the metal grease filters:
❑ In normal operation (1 to 2 hours daily),
the metal grease filter must be cleaned
1 x a month.
❑ The filters can be cleaned in a dish-
washer. It is however possible that they
will become slightly discoloured.
❑ The filter must be placed loosely, and
NOT wedged, in the dishwasher.
Important:
Metal filters that are saturated with
grease should not be washed together
with other dishes etc.
❑ When cleaning the filters by hand, soak
them in hot soapy water first of all.
Do not use aggressive, acidic or caustic
cleaners.
Then brush the filters clean, rinse them
thoroughly and leave the water to drain off.
