Metal-mesh grease lters
The inserted metal-mesh grease lters
absorb the grease particles from the kitchen
fumes.
The lter mats consist of re-proof metal.
ṇ RISK OF FIRE
As the lters become more saturated with
greasy residue, the ammability increases.
The function of the extractor hood may also
be impaired.
The risk of re is prevented by cleaning
the metal-mesh grease lters in good time.
When cleaning the grease lters, also
remove grease deposits from the accessible
parts of the housing with a damp cloth.
Cleaning the metal-mesh
grease lters ...
Under normal operation (daily 1 to 2
hours), the metal-mesh grease lters must
be cleaned 1x month.
... in the dishwasher
The metal-mesh grease lters can be
cleaned in the dishwasher. Slight
discolouration may occur but this will not
aect the function of the grease lters.
The lters must be placed loosely in the
dishwasher. They must not be wedged in.
NOTE: Do not clean heavily saturated metal-
mesh grease lters together with utensils.
... by hand
When cleaning by hand, soak the grease
lters in a hot detergent solution, brush o
the dirt, rinse thoroughly and leave to dry.
Do not use any aggressive, acidic or
alkaline cleaning agents.
If dirt is particularly stubborn, we
recommend using a special grease solvent
spray. This can be ordered via the Online
Shop.
