The metal grease filter has been designed to absorb the grease
particles that are formed during cooking and is always used,
irrespective of whether the hood is set up for extractor or filter
operation.
The metal grease filter is positioned on the inside of its related
support grille.
Leave the metal grease filter panel to soak for approximately 1
hour in very hot water with grease-dissolving detergent and then
rinse it with very hot water. Repeat the operation if necessary.
Load the grease filter panel in a dishwasher, selecting the most
