Cleaning and care
External filter
To remove the external filter pull the deflector plate out slightly.
Turn the fan off.
Holding the external filter at the front tilt it approximately 1” (3 cm) down- wards and then pull it towards you to remove it.
Internal filter
Pull the deflector plate out to its full extension.
The internal filter will now be visible.
Holding it by the handle pull it down- wards to remove it.
Clean the filters –
–by hand: with a nylon brush in a mild solution of warm water and dish soap.
–in a dishwasher: place the filters with the short side upright in the lower basket, checking that the spray arm is not blocked.
The external grease filter can be folded and cleaned in the dishwasher by twist- ing the latches as shown.
Depending on the detergent used, cleaning the grease filters in a dish- washer may cause permanent dis- coloration of the filter surface. How- ever, performance of the filter will not be affected.
After cleaning, leave the filters to dry on a towel before putting them back in place.
While the filters are removed, clean any dirt or grease from the filter cas- ing to prevent fires.
