The reusable metal grease filters re-
move solid particles from the vented
kitchen air (grease, dust, etc).
The grease filters should be cleaned
every 3 - 4 weeks or whenever the
grease filter indicator lights.
A dirty filter is a fire hazard.
^ To remove the grease filters press the
locking clips in towards the middle of
the filter. Support grease filter so that
it does not fall on to the cooktop.

vertically in the lower basket, making
sure that the spray arm is not
blocked.
Depending on the detergent, clean-
ing the grease filters in a dishwasher
may cause permanent discoloration
of the filter surface. Performance of
the filter will not be affected by this
discoloration.
^ After cleaning, the filters can be
placed on a towel to air dry.
^ While the filters are removed, clean
any dirt or grease from the filter cas-
ing to prevent the risk of fire.
When putting the grease filters back
make sure that the locking clips are vis-
ible facing the cooking surface.
If the filters are incorrectly installed, in-
sert a small screwdriver into the slit
along its edge to disengage it from the
casing.
^ After returning the grease filters,
press the grease filter button for 3
seconds to reset the timer. The indi-
cator light will go out.
^ If the grease filters are cleaned be-
fore the grease filter timer has
reached its maximum, the grease fil-
ter button should be pressed for
6 seconds to reset the counter to
zero.
