Grease filters
Re-usable metal filters are fitted which
remove solid particles (oil, dust, etc.)
from the kitchen vapours, preventing
soiling of the cooker hood.
The grease filters should be cleaned
regularly (at least every 3-4 weeks) to
avoid a build-up of fat but always clean
immediately the grease filter touch con-
trol lamp comes on.
An over saturated filter is a fire
hazard.
To take out the grease filters press
the locking clips in towards the
middle of the filter. Holding carefully,
lower and remove the filter.
Clean the filters
–
by hand: with a nylon brush, warm
water with a little washing up liquid.
–
in a dishwasher:
place the filters
with the short side upright in the
lower basket, ensuring the spray arm
is not obstructed.
Depending on the cleaning agent
used, cleaning the grease filters in
a dishwasher can cause permanent
discolouration to the surface of the
filters.
However, this will not affect the func-
tioning of the grease filters in any
way.
After cleaning, leave the filters to dry
on an absorbent surface before put-
ting them back in place.
When removing the filters for clean-
ing also clean off any residues of oil
or fat from the now accessible hous-
ing to prevent the risk of these catch-
ing fire.
