Cleaning and care

Grease filters
Fire hazard
Oversaturated grease filters are a fire
hazard.
Clean the grease filters at regular
intervals.
The re-usable metal grease filters in the
appliance remove solid particles
(grease, dust, etc.) from the kitchen
vapours, preventing soiling of the
cooker hood.
The grease filters must be cleaned at
regular intervals.
Heavily soiled grease filters hinder air
extraction and will lead to increased
levels of soiling in the cooker hood
and in the kitchen.
Cleaning interval
Accumulated grease solidifies over a
longer period of time and makes
cleaning more difficult. The grease
filters should therefore be cleaned every
3 to 4 weeks.
The filter operating hours control
reminds you to regularly clean the
grease filters by illuminating the grease
filter symbol
.
Removing a grease filter
When handling a grease filter, be
careful not to drop it.
This can result in damage to the filter
and the hob below.
Make sure you hold the filter securely
at all times when handling it.
Remove the grease filters from the
slots on the front of the housing
Cleaning the grease filters by hand
Clean the filters with a soft nylon
brush in a mild solution of hot water
and a small amount of washing-up
liquid. Do not use “neat” washing up
liquid.
Unsuitable cleaning agents
Unsuitable cleaning agents can cause
damage to the surface of the filters if
used regularly.
Do not use:
- cleaning agents containing descaling
agents
- powder cleaners, cream cleaners
- aggressive multi-purpose cleaning
agents or spray cleaners for grease
- oven sprays
