Filters and maintenance
Grease filters:
Metal-mesh filters are used to trap the
grease particles in the cooking vapours.
The filter mats are made from non-
combustible metal.
Caution:
As the filter becomes more and more satu-
rated with grease, there is an increased risk
of fire and the function of the extractor
hood may be impaired.
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-mesh grease filters:
❑ The filters can be cleaned in a
dishwasher. However, they may become
slightly discoloured.
Important:
Do not wash highly saturated metal-
mesh grease filters with other utensils.
❑ If cleaning the filters by hand, soak them in
a hot soap solution. Then brush the filters,
rinse thoroughly and leave to drain.
Clean the support frame for the grease
filters by hand.
