Cleaning and care
 To take out the grease filter, release
the locking clip on the filter, lower the
filter approx. 45°, unhook it at the
back and remove it.
Cleaning the grease filters by hand
 Clean the filters with a soft nylon
brush in a mild solution of hot water
and a small amount of washing-up
liquid. Do not use undiluted washing
up liquid.
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 filters in the
dishwasher
 Place the grease filters upright or
slightly inclined in the lower basket.
Ensure the spray arm is not
obstructed.

 Use a standard household
dishwasher detergent.
 Select a dishwasher programme with
a wash temperature between 50 °C
and 65 °C.
Depending on the detergent used,
cleaning the filters in the dishwasher
may cause the inside filter surfaces to
become discoloured. This will not
affect the functioning of the grease
filters in any way.
After cleaning
 After cleaning, leave the filters to dry
on an absorbent surface before
refitting them.
 When removing the filters for
cleaning, also clean off any residues
of oil or fat from the now accessible
housing to prevent the risk of these
catching fire.
 Replace the grease filters, making
sure that the locking clips are facing
down towards the cooktop.
 If a grease filter is inadvertently
refitted upside down, insert a small
screwdriver blade into the slit to
disengage the clip.
