Hand washing
The mesh filters can be cleaned by hand in warm soapy
water. Soak in warm water and some washing up liquid.
For stubborn grease stains use a soft nylon brush to help

powerful washing grogram and highest temperature, at least 65.
Refit the grease filters when they are dry. When washing the
metal grease filter in the dishwasher a slight discolouration of
the filter can be occur, this does not have any impact on its
performance.
