Cleaning and care

Grease filter
The re-usable metal grease filter in the
appliance removes solid particles from
the kitchen vapours (grease, dust, etc)
preventing soiling of the cooker hood.
An oversaturated filter is a fire
hazard.
Cleaning interval
Grease which is left to accumulate over
time will harden and become difficult to
remove. The grease filter should
therefore be cleaned at least every 3 - 4
weeks.
The operating hours counter reminds
you to clean the filter regularly. The
grease filter symbol will light up.
You can set the operating hours
counter for the grease filter to suit the
type of cooking you do (see
"Operation").
Removing a grease filter
Insert your finger at the top edge of
the second slat (see diagram) and
pull the vapour canopy out of the
catch.
The canopy will swing open.
Putting pressure on the open canopy
can damage it. Do not lean on or
against the canopy.
To take out the grease filter, release
the locking clip on the filter, swing the
filter forwards by approx. 45°, unhook
it at the back and remove it.
Close the canopy.
