Cleaning and care

Grease filters and edge
extraction panel

Risk of fire!
An oversaturated grease filter is a fire
hazard.
Clean the grease filter at regular
intervals.
The edge extraction panel and the
reusable metal grease filter in the
appliance remove solid particles
(grease, dust, etc.) from the kitchen
vapors, preventing soiling of the
ventilation hood.
The grease filter and the panel must be
cleaned at regular intervals.
A heavily soiled grease filter hinders
air extraction and will lead to
increased levels of soiling in the
ventilation hood and in the kitchen.
Cleaning intervals
Accumulated grease solidifies over a
longer period of time and makes
cleaning more difficult. The grease filter
should therefore be cleaned at least
every 3 to 4 weeks.
The filter saturation indicator reminds
you to regularly clean the grease filter
by illuminating the grease filter symbol
 .

You can adjust the interval for the
filter saturation indicator to match
your cooking habits (see
“Operation”).
Removing the panel and grease
filters

The panel and grease filter can
fall out when you are handling them.
This can result in damage.
Make sure you hold the panel and
the grease filter securely at all times
when handling them.

Pull the panel out of the holder at the
bottom, press it back a little at the
top, then unhook it and carefully lift it
out.
