Cleaning and care
Grease filters
The re-usable metal grease filters in the
appliance remove solid particles
(grease, dust, etc.) from the kitchen
vapours, preventing soiling of the
cooker hood.
To avoid a build-up of grease, the
grease filters should be cleaned
regularly (at least every 3-4 weeks), but
always clean immediately the grease
filter indicator lamp comes on.
An oversaturated filter is a fire
hazard.
^ To take out the grease filters, release
the locking clip on the filter, lower the
filter 45°, unhook it at the back and
remove it.
To avoid damaging the filters or the
hob below, make sure you hold the
filters securely at all times when
handling them.

Cleaning the grease filters by hand
^ Clean the filters with a soft nylon
brush in a mild solution of hot water
and a little washing-up liquid.
Do not use "neat" washing up liquid.
Do not use:
– cleaning agents containing
descaling agents,
– powder cleaners, cream cleaners or
abrasive all-purpose cleaning
agents,
– oven sprays.
Cleaning the grease filters in the
dishwasher
^ Place the filters with the short side
upright in the lower basket, and wash
on a 65° programme using a mild
dishwasher detergent, ensuring the
spray arm is not obstructed.
Depending on the cleaning agent
used, cleaning the filters in a
dishwasher can cause permanent
discolouration to the surface.
However, this will not affect the
functioning of the filters in any way.
^ After cleaning, leave the filters to dry
on an absorbent surface before
replacing them.
