Avoid cleaning the extractor hood with dry
cloths, abrasive sponges, scouring agents,
cleaning agents containing sand, soda, acid,
chlorine or any other aggressive substances.

Clean the appliance surfaces and controls with
a soft, damp cloth, washing-up liquid or a mild
window cleaner only.

Do not scrape off dried dirt, but moisten with a
damp cloth.

Metal-mesh grease filters
•
The metal-mesh grease filters absorb the
grease particles from the kitchen fumes.
•
The filter mats consist of fire-proof metal.
RISK OF FIRE
As the filters become more saturated with greasy
residue, the flammability increases. The function of
the extractor hood may also be impaired.
•
The risk of fire is prevented by cleaning the
metal-mesh grease filters in good time.
•
When cleaning the grease filters, also remove
grease deposits from the accessible parts of
the housing with a damp cloth.
Cleaning the metal-mesh grease filters ...
•
Under normal operation (daily 1 to 2 hours), the
metal-mesh grease filters must be cleaned 1x
month.
... in the dishwasher
•
The metal-mesh grease filters can be cleaned in
the dishwasher. Slight discolouration may
occur but this will not affect the function of the
grease filters.
•
The filters must be placed loosely in the
dishwasher. They must not be wedged in.
Note: Do not clean heavily saturated metal-mesh
grease filters together with utensils.
... by hand
•
When cleaning by hand, soak the grease filters
in a hot detergent solution, brush off 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.
