Grease filters
The reusable metal grease filters in the appliance remove the solid particles contained in kitchen vapors (fat, dust, etc.), thereby preventing the ventilation hood from becoming dirty.
A dirty filter is a fire hazard!
Cleaning intervals
Over longer periods of time, fat buildup on the grease filter hardens and makes cleaning more difficult. Therefore, we recommend cleaning the grease filters once every
Removing the grease filters
When handling a grease filter, be careful not to drop it.
This can result in damage to the filter and to the cooktop.
Make sure you hold the filter securely at all times when handling it.
To remove a grease filter, release the locking clip. Then, open the filter to a 45° angle, unhook it, and remove it from the hood.
