Grease filters, Cleaning the grease filter

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 when the grease filter indicator lights.

A dirty filter is a fire hazard.

^To remove the grease filters pull the locking clips, 1, forward. Lower the filter 45°, 2, unhook it at the rear, 3, and take it out. Support the grease filter so that it does not fall onto the cooktop.

Cleaning the grease filter

^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, abrasive cleaning agents or limescale removers. They could destroy 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 destroy the filter.

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 visibly facing 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 and hold 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, press the grease filter button for 6 seconds to reset the counter to zero.
