Cleaning and care
Unsuitable cleaning agents
Unsuitable cleaning agents can cause
damage to the surface of the filters if
used regularly.
Do not use:
– cleaning agents containing descaling
agents,
– powder cleaners or cream cleaners,
– aggressive all-purpose cleaning
agents or spray cleaners for grease,
– oven sprays.
Cleaning the grease filter and the
moisture collection tray in a
dishwasher
 Place the grease filter and the
moisture collection tray upright or
slightly inclined in the lower basket,
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 the grease filter in a
dishwasher can cause permanent
discolouration to the internal surfaces
of the filter. However, this will not
affect the functioning of the filter in
any way.
