Cleaning and care
Grease filter
The reusable metal grease filters remove solid particles from the vented kitchen air (grease, dust, etc) and help keep the exhaust hood clean.
At the latest, clean the grease filter when the "l" sensor button lights up.
The grease filters should be cleaned every 3 - 4 weeks or when the grease filter indicator lights.
A dirty filter is a fire hazard.
To remove the grease filter, first open the canopy.
^Touch the "s" sensor button to turn on the fan.
The fan switches to level "2".
The canopy opens.
^Press and hold the "2" sensor button for approx. 5 seconds, until the fan turns off. The canopy remains open.
Be sure to support the grease filter so that it does not fall onto the cooktop.
^Press slightly upward on the grease filter handle to release it from the lower rail, pivot forward and lower it downward.
Cleaning the grease filter
–By hand: use a scrub brush with a solution of warm water and mild dish soap.
Do not use the pure detergent, aggressive all purpose cleaners, oven sprays, abrasive cleaning agents or limescale removers. They could damage the filter.
–In a dishwasher: place the filter 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 damage the filter.
