Grease filters
The re-usable metal grease filters in the
appliance remove solid particles from
the kitchen vapours (grease, dust, etc)
preventing soiling of the cooker hood.
The filters should be cleaned regularly
(at least every 3-4 weeks) to avoid a
build up of fat, but always clean imme

An over saturated filter is a fire
hazard.

To take out the grease filters press
the locking clips in towards the mid
-
dle of the filter. Holding carefully,
lower and remove the filter.
^ Clean the filters
– by hand: with a scrubbing brush in
warm water with a little washing up
liquid.
– in a dishwasher: place the filters
with the short side upright in the
lower basket, ensuring the spray arm
is not obstructed.
Depending on the cleaning agent
used, cleaning the grease filters in a
dishwasher can cause permanent
discolouration to the surface of the
filters.
However, this will not affect the func

tioning of the grease filters in any
way.

After cleaning, leave the filters to dry
on an absorbent surface before putt
