Cleaning and care
Cleaning grease filter in a
dishwasher
 Place the filter as upright as possible
in the lower basket, or at an angle,
ensuring the spray arm is not
obstructed.
 Use a proprietary household
dishwasher detergent.
 Select a dishwasher programme with
a wash temperature between 50°C
and 65°C.
Depending on the cleaning agent
used, cleaning a filter in a dishwasher
can cause permanent discolouration
to internal surfaces. However, this will
not affect the functioning of the filter
in any way.
After cleaning
 After cleaning, leave the filter to dry
on an absorbent surface before
replacing it.
 When removing the filter for cleaning,
also clean off any residues of oil or
fat from the now accessible casing to
prevent the risk of these catching fire.
