Cleaning and care
Cleaning the grease filters
^By hand: use a scrub brush with a solution of warm water and mild detergent.
Do not use the pure detergent, aggressive all purpose cleaners, oven sprays or limescale removers. They could destroy the filters.
^In a dishwasher: place the filters vertically in the lower basket, making sure that the spray arm is not blocked.
Use a hot temperature program, e.g. "Heavy Soil" or "Pots and pans".
Use the recommended amount of dishwasher detergent. Overuse could destroy the filter.
Depending on the detergent, cleaning the grease filter 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 filter can be placed on a towel to air dry.
^Clean the air intake panel according to "Cleaning the casing".
^While the filter and the air intake panel are removed, clean any dirt or grease from the interior casing to prevent the risk of fire.
^Push the grease filter back in place.
^Hook the air intake panel on the latches and push a little to the left. Push it toward the unit so that it clicks in place.
^After returning the grease filter, press the grease filter button for 3 seconds to reset the timer.
The indicator light will go out.
^If the grease filter and air intake panel 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.
