Cleaning and Care
Grease filters
The reusable metal grease filters remove solid particles from the vented kitchen air (grease, dust, etc).
The grease filters should be cleaned every 3 - 4 weeks or whenever the grease filter indicator lights.
A dirty filter is a fire hazard.
^To remove the grease filters press the locking clips in towards the middle of the filter. Holding carefully, lower and remove the filter.
^Clean the filters
-by hand: use a scrub brush in warm water with a mild detergent.
-in a dishwasher: place the filters vertically in the lower basket, making sure that the spray arm is not blocked.
Depending on the detergent, cleaning the grease filters in a dishwasher may cause permanent discoloration of the filter surface. Performance of the filter will not be affected by this discoloration.
^After cleaning, the filters can be placed on a towel to air dry.
^While the filters are removed, clean any dirt or grease from the filter casing to prevent the risk of fire.
When putting the grease filters back make sure that the locking clips are visible facing down towards the cooking surface.
If the filters are incorrectly installed, insert a small screwdriver into the slit along its edge to disengage it from the casing.
^After returning the grease filters, press the grease filter button for 3 seconds to reset the timer. The indicator light will go out.
^If the grease filters are cleaned before the grease filter timer has reached its maximum, the grease filter button should be pressed for 6 seconds to reset the counter to zero.
