up liquid.

Cleaning the grease filters in a dish‐
washer
 Place the filters as upright as possi‐
ble in the lower basket, with the short
sides upright, ensuring the spray arm
is not obstructed.
 Use a proprietary household dish‐
washer detergent.
 Select a dishwasher programme with
a wash temperature between 50 °C
and 65 °C.
Depending on the cleaning agent
used, cleaning the filters in a dish‐
washer can cause permanent disco‐
louration to the surface. However, this
will not affect the functioning of the fil‐
ters in any way.
After cleaning
 After cleaning, leave the filters to dry
on an absorbent surface before refit‐
ting them.
 When removing the filters for clean‐
ing, also clean off any residues of oil
or fat from the now accessible hous‐
ing to prevent the risk of these catch‐
ing fire.
 Replace the grease filters, making
sure that the locking clips are facing
down towards the cooktop.
