GREASE FILTERS:
Metal filters are used to trap the greasy element of the
vapours that develop during cooking.
The filter mats are made from non-combustible metal.
Caution:
As the filter becomes more and more
saturated with grease, not only does the risk of it catching
fire increase but the
efficiency of the extractor hood can also be adversely
affected.
Important:
By cleaning the metal grease filters at appropriate intervals,
the possibility of them catching fire as a result of a build-up
of heat such as occurs when deep-fat frying or roasting is
taking place, is reduced.
Saturation indicator: ~
When the grease filters reach saturation point, an acoustic
signal is sounded for 6 seconds after the fan has switched
off, and an ~ appears in the display. The grease filters
should be cleaned straight away.
Cleaning the metal grease filters:
❑ In normal operation (1 to 2 hours daily), the metal
grease filter must be cleaned 1 x a month.
❑ The filters can be cleaned in a dishwasher. It is
however possible that they will become slightly
discoloured.
❑ The filter must be placed loosely, and NOT wedged, in
the dishwasher.
Important:
Metal filters that are saturated with grease should not
be washed together with other dishes etc.
❑ When cleaning the filters by hand, soak them in hot
soapy water first of all.
Do not use aggressive, acidic or caustic cleaners.
Then brush the filters clean, rinse them thoroughly and
leave the water to drain off.
