and dish soap. Do not use undiluted
dish soap.
Unsuitable cleaning agents

Cleaning and care
Cleaning the grease filter in a
dishwasher
 Place the filters as upright or inclined
as possible in the lower basket.
Ensure that the spray arm is not
obstructed.
 Use a common household
dishwasher detergent.
 Select a program with a wash
temperature between 122°F (50°C)
and 149°F (65°C).
Depending on the cleaning agent
used, cleaning the grease filter in a
dishwasher can cause permanent
discoloration to the surface. However,
this will not affect the functioning of
the filter in any way.
After cleaning
 After cleaning, leave the filters on an
absorbent surface to dry.
 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.
