Cleaning and care
28
To take out a grease filter, release the
locking clip on the filter, lower the
filter approx. 45°, unhook it at the
back and remove it.
Cleaning the grease filter by hand
Clean the filter with a soft nylon brush
in a mild solution of hot water and a
small amount of washing-up liquid.
Do not use "neat" washing up liquid.
Unsuitable cleaning agents
Unsuitable cleaning agents can cause
damage to the surface of the filters if
used regularly.
Do not use:
– cleaning agents containing descaling
agents
– powder cleaners, cream cleaners
– aggressive multi-purpose cleaning
agents or spray cleaners for grease
– oven sprays
Cleaning the grease filter in a
dishwasher
Place the filter as upright as possible
in the lower basket, or at an angle,
ensuring the spray arm is not
obstructed.
Use a proprietary household
dishwasher detergent.
Select a dishwasher programme with
a wash temperature between 50°C
and 65°C.
Depending on the cleaning agent
used, cleaning a filter in a dishwasher
can cause permanent discolouration
to internal surfaces. However, this will
not affect the functioning of the filter
in any way.
After cleaning
After cleaning, leave the filter to dry
on an absorbent surface before
replacing it.
When removing the filter for cleaning,
also clean off any residues of oil or
fat from the now accessible casing to
prevent the risk of these catching fire.
