Cleaning and care
Grease filter
The reusable metal grease filter removes solid particles from the vented kitchen air (grease, dust, etc).
The grease filter should be cleaned every 3 - 4 weeks.
A dirty filter is a fire hazard.
^To remove hold and pull out the deflector and the grease filter together.
^Pull the grease filter downwards and out. Support the grease filter so that it does not fall onto the cooktop.
^Turn the hood off.
Cleaning the filter
^By hand: use a scrub brush with a solution of warm water and mild detergent.
Do not use the pure detergent, aggressive all purpose cleaners, oven sprays, abrasive cleaning agents or limescale removers. They could destroy the filter.
^In a dishwasher: place the filter vertically in the lower basket, making sure that the spray arm is not blocked.
Use a hot temperature program, e.g. "Heavy Soil" or "Pots and pans". Use the recommended amount of dishwasher detergent. Overuse could destroy the filter.
Depending on the detergent, cleaning the grease filter in a dishwasher may cause permanent discoloration of the filter surface. Performance of the filter will not be affected by this discoloration.
^After cleaning, the filter can be placed on a towel to air dry.
^While the filter is removed, clean any dirt or grease from the filter casing to prevent the risk of fire.
