Various types of grease filter can be
used to absorb the grease contained in
the vapours produced during cooking.
Fleece grease filter
The filter mat is made from material that is
itself virtually non-inflammable.
Caution:
As it becomes more and more saturated
with grease however, the filter becomes
increasingly inflammable. The efficiency of
the extractor hood can also be adversely
affected.
Important:
Renewing the fleece filter at appropriate
intervals prevents the possibility of it
catching fire as a result of a build-up of
heat, such as occurs when deep-fat frying
or roasting is taking place.
Renewing the fleece filter:
q
Under normal operating conditions
(1 to 2 hours per day), the fleece filter
will require replacing after 8 to 10
weeks. Printed fleece filters must be
renewed no later than when the colou-
red printing has started to fade.
q
Use only original replacement filters.
In so doing you will ensure that safety
regulations are upheld and the extractor
hood performs as effectively as possi-
ble.
Disposing of the old fleece grease filter:
ṇ Fleece grease filters do not contain any
pollutants. They can be composted and
disposed of as biodegradable waste.
Metal grease filter
The filter mat is made of non-combustible
metal.
Caution:
As it becomes more and more saturated
with grease, the filter also becomes
increasingly inflammable. The efficiency of
the extractor hood can also be adversely
affected.
Important:
Clean the metal grease filter at regular
intervals.
Cleaning the metal filter:
Under normal operating conditions (1 to 2
hours per day), the metal grease filter will
require cleaning after 8 to 10 weeks.
q
The filter can be cleaned in a
dishwasher.
This can however cause slight
discoloration.
Important:
Metal filters that are heavily saturated with
grease should not be cleaned at the same
time as any crockery, etc.
q
If the filter mat is going to be cleaned by
hand, soak it first of all in a hot deter-
gent solution for several hours.
Clean the filter with a brush, rinse it off
thoroughly and allow it to drip dry.
