Grease filters
The re-usable metal grease filters in the
appliance remove solid particles
(grease, dust, etc.) from the kitchen
vapors, preventing soiling of the
ventilation hood.
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 ventilation hood
and in the kitchen.
Risk of fire
Oversaturated grease filters are a fire
hazard.
Clean the grease filters at regular
intervals.
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.
Removing the grease filters
When handling the grease filter,
be careful not to drop it.
This can result in damage to the filter
and the cooktop below.
Make sure you hold the filter securely
at all times when handling it.
Cleaning and care
To remove a grease filter, release the
locking clip. Then, open the filter to a
45° angle, unhook it, and remove it
from the hood.
Cleaning the grease filters by hand
Clean the filters with a soft nylon
brush in a mild solution of hot water
and dish soap. Do not use undiluted
dish soap.
Unsuitable cleaning agents
Unsuitable cleaners can cause damage
to the filter surfaces if used regularly.
Do not use any of the following:
- Lime removers
- Abrasive powders or abrasive liquids
- Aggressive all-purpose cleaners and
degreaser sprays
- Oven sprays
Cleaning the grease filters in a
dishwasher
Place the grease filters upright or
slightly inclined in the lower basket.
Ensure the spray arm is not
obstructed.
