Grease filter
The reusable metal grease filter in the appliance removes solid particles from the kitchen vapors (grease, dust, etc.) preventing soiling of the hood.
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
The area around the filter will get very hot due to heat from the cooktop lighting.
Danger of burns!
Switch the cooktop lighting off and wait a few minutes after cooking for the hood to cool down before removing the filter.
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.
