Filters and maintenance
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 becomes saturated,
the display symbol
#
lights up and a signal
sounds. The signal is switched off when the
fan is switched off. 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 dish-
washer. 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.
