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 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 are saturated
flashes. If you switch the hood off, then
the acoustic signal is removed.
The grease filters should be cleaned
straight away.
Cleaning the metal grease filters:
‰
In normal operation (1-2 hours daily)
the metal grease filter must be
cleaned 1x a month.
‰ The filters can be cleaned in a dish
washer. It is however possible that
they become slightly discoloured.
The filters must be placed loosely and
NOT wedged in the dishwasher
Important: Metal filters that are
saturared with grease should not be
washed together with other dishes.
‰ When clearing 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.
Removing and installing the metal
grease filters:
Attention: the halogen bulbs must be
switched off and must have cooled down.
1. Follow the steps shown in the M

filters and fold down the grease filters.
3. Clean the grease filters.
4. Re-install the cleaned grease filters.
