Clean the filter –
–
By hand:
with a scrubbing brush in
hot water with detergent.
–
in a dishwasher:
Place the grease fil-
ter 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 filter in a
dishwasher can cause permanent
discoloration of the surface of the fil-
ter.
However, this will not affect the func-
tioning of the grease filter in any
way.
After cleaning leave the filter to dry
for a while on an absorbent surface
before putting it 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.
When putting the grease filter back
ensure that the retention clip faces to-
wards the hob.
Should the filter be replaced upside
down, insert a small screwdriver
blade into the slits to disengage the
clip. Do not let the filter fall on to the
hob below.
Active charcoal filters
If the cooker hood is connected for air
recirculation, two active charcoal filters
must be installed in addition to the
grease filter. These filters absorb
odours from the kitchen.
Remove the grease filter.
Remove the packaging of the active
charcoal filters.
Secure the active charcoal filters
using the screws enclosed.
The active charcoal filters should be re-
placed when they are no longer func-
tioning efficiently, or at least every six
months
Put the grease filter back in place.
