Metal grease filter

The purpose of the grease filters is to absorb grease particles which form during cooking and it must always be used, either in the external extraction or internal re-circulation function. Attention: the metal grease filters must be

removed and washed, either by hand or in the dishwasher, every four weeks.

Removing the metal grease filters

Push it towards the back of the unit and then pull it down and out.Fig. 3.

Hand washing

Soak grease filters for about one hour in hot water with a grease-loosening cleaner, then

rinse off thoroughly with hot water. Repeat theFig. 3 process if necessary. Refit the grease filters

when they are dry.

Dishwasher

Place grease filters in the dishwasher. Select most powerful washing programme and highest temperature, at least 65°C. Repeat the process. Refit the grease filters when they are dry. When washing the metal grease filter in the dishwasher a slight discolouration of the filter can occur, this does not have any impact on its performance.

Clean the inner housing using a hand hot solution only(never use caustic detergents, abrasive powders or brushes).
