Filters and maintenance
Grease filters:
Metal-mesh filters are used to trap the grease
particles in the cooking vapours.
The filter mats are made from noncombustible
metal.
Caution:
As the filter becomes more and more saturated with
grease, there is an increased risk of fire and the
en
function of the extractor hood may be impaired.
Important:
By cleaning the metal grease filters at appropriate
intervals, the possibility of them catching fire as a re-
sult of a build-up of heat such as occurs when deep-
fat frying or roasting is taking place, is reduced.
Filters can be washed in the dish machine. They
need to be washed every 2 month, or even more
frequently in case of particularly intensive use of the
hood.

q Remove the filters one by one.
q Any kind of bending of the filters has to be
avoided when washing them. Before fitting
them again into the hood make sure that they
are completely dry. (The colour of the filter sur-
face may change throughout the time but this
has no influence to the filter efficiency).
q Put the clean filters back on the Grid in its place
q Hook the security chain and put back the Grid
onto the hood
