filter, pulling downwards. Fig. 5.
Hand washing
Soak grease filters for about one hour in hot water with a grease-

grease filters when they are dry.
When washing the metal grease filter in
the dishwasher a slight discolouration of
the filter can occur, this does not have any
impact on its performance.
