Filters and maintenance
Re-attaching the frame:
1.
Insert the filter frame into the housing
and push it in as far as it will go.
2.
Close the cupboard door.
Fleece grease filter:
The filter mat is made from material that is
itself virtually non-inflammable.
Caution:
As it becomes more and more saturated
with grease however, the filter becomes
increasingly inflammable. The efficiency of
the extractor hood can also be adversely
affected.
Important:
Renewing the fleece filter at appropriate
intervals prevents the possibility of it
catching fire as a result of a build-up of
heat, such as occurs when deep-fat frying
or roasting is taking place.
Renewing the fleece filter:
❑
Under normal operating conditions
(1 to 2 hours per day), the fleece filter will
require replacing after 8 to 10 weeks.
❑ Printed fleece filters must be renewed no
later than when the coloured printing has
started to fade.
❑
Use only original replacement filters.
In so doing you will ensure that safety
regulations are upheld and the extractor
hood performs as effectively as possible.
Removing/inserting the fleece filter:
1.
Remove the wire frame.
2.
Exchange the fleece filter.
3.
Refit the wire frame.
Metal grease filter:
The filter mat is made of non-combustible
metal.
Caution:
As it becomes more and more saturated
with grease, the filter also becomes
increasingly inflammable. The efficiency of
the extractor hood can also be adversely
affected.
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 filter:
Under normal operating conditions (1 to 2
hours per day), the metal grease filter will
require cleaning after 8 to 10 weeks.
Various types of grease filter can be
used to absorb the grease contained in
the vapours produced during cooking.
The filter frame must be detached before
the grease filter can be renewed.
Detaching and re-attaching the filter
frame:
Detaching the frame:
1.
