Filters and maintenance

Grease fi lters:
Metal-mesh fi lters are used to trap the grease
particles in the cooking vapours.
The fi lter mats are made from noncombustible
metal.
Caution:
As the fi lter becomes more and more saturated with
grease, there is an increased risk of fi re and the
en
function of the extractor hood may be impaired.
Important:
By cleaning the metal grease fi lters at appropriate
intervals, the possibility of them catching fi re 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.

Remove the fi lters one by one.
Any kind of bending of the fi lters has to be
avoided when washing them. Before fi tting
them again into the hood make sure that they
are completely dry. (The colour of the fi lter sur-
face may change throughout the time but this
has no infl uence to the fi lter effi ciency).
Put the clean fi lters back on the Grid in its place
Hook the security chain and put back the Grid
onto the hood
