Filters and maintenance
Metal-mesh grease filters have been
installed to filter grease particles out of
the kitchen fumes.
The filter mats are made of incombustible
metal.
Attention:
As grease accumulates in the filter, there is
an increased risk of the filter catching fire
and the extractor hood may malfunction.
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.
Cleaning the metal-mesh grease filters:
During normal operation (1 to 2 hours daily),
the metal-mesh grease filters should be
cleaned every 8 – 10 weeks.
The filters can be cleaned in the
dishwasher.
However, the filters may be slightly
discoloured.
Important:
If the metal-mesh grease filters are very
dirty, do NOT wash them in the
dishwasher with other pots and pans.
When cleaning by hand, soak the filter
mats for several hours in a hot soap
solution.
Then brush them off, rinse thoroughly
and allow to drip dry.
To ensure the best possible results,
use only original filters.
Removing and installing the filter
frames
Removal:
1. Pull out the filter drawer all the way.
2. Press the detents on the filter frames all
the way in the direction of the arrow.
If there are two grease filters, remove
the front one first.
3. Fold the filter frame down at the side and
remove.
Installation:
1. Pull out the filter drawer all the way.
2. Insert the filter frame at an angle into the
holder, fold up and attach by pressing
the detent all the way.
If there are two grease filters, first
insert the rear filter frame and then the
front filter frame (profiled edge) into the
filter drawer.
Ensure that the grease filters are
securely positioned on both sides.
