Grease filters


Fire hazard!
Oversaturated grease filters are a fire
hazard.
Clean the grease filters at regular
intervals.
The re-usable metal grease filters in the
appliance remove solid particles
(grease, dust, etc.) from the kitchen
vapours, preventing soiling of the
rangehood.
The grease filters must be cleaned at
regular intervals.
Heavily soiled grease filters hinder air
extraction and will lead to increased
levels of soiling in the rangehood and
in the kitchen.
Grease filter cleaning intervals
Accumulated grease solidifies over a
longer period of time and makes
cleaning more difficult. The grease
filters should therefore be cleaned every
3 to 4 weeks.
The operating hours control reminds
you to regularly clean the grease filters
by illuminating the grease filter symbol
.
You can set the operating hours counter
interval to suit the type of cooking you
do (see "Operation (automatic and
manual modes)").

Cleaning the grease filters by hand
 Clean the filters with a soft nylon
