Filters and maintenance

Grease filters:

Metal filters are used to trap the grease particles of the vapours that develop during cooking.

The filter mats are made from non- combustible metal.

Caution:

As the filter becomes more and more saturated with grease, not only does the risk of it catching fire increase but the efficiency of the hood can also be adversely affected.

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 grease filters:

❑In normal operation (1 to 2 hours daily), the metal grease filter must be cleaned after 8 to 10 weeks.

❑The filters can be cleaned in a dishwasher. It is however possible that they will become slightly discolored.

Important:

Metal filters that are saturated with grease should not be washed together with other dishes etc.

❑When cleaning the filters by hand, soak them in hot soapy water first of all. Then brush the filters clean, rinse them thoroughly and leave the water to drain off.

Removing and inserting the metal grease filters:

1.Press the catch on the grease filters inwards and fold the filters down. Fig. 1.

2.Clean the filters.

3.Insert the clean filters back into the hood.
