Filter saturation indicator
The ventilation hood registers the length
of time it has been operated.
Filter saturation indicators show when
the filters need to be cleaned or
changed by lighting up the grease filter
symbol
or charcoal filter symbol
.
You can set the filter saturation
indicator to suit the type of cooking you
do (see “Changing settings”).
Grease filter
Risk of fire
An oversaturated grease filter is a fire
hazard.
Clean the grease filter at regular
intervals.
The re-usable metal grease filter in the
appliance removes solid particles from
the kitchen vapors (grease, dust, etc.),
preventing soiling of the ventilation
hood.
The grease filter 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
.
Removing the grease filters
When handling the grease filter,
be careful not to drop it.
This can result in damage to the filter
and the cooktop below.
Make sure you hold the filter securely
at all times when handling it.
Pull out the canopy.
Push the grease filter on the right-
hand side to the left and unlock it on
the left-hand side.
Pull the grease filter down to remove
it.
Cleaning the grease filter by hand
Clean the filters with a soft nylon
brush in a mild solution of hot water
and dish soap. Do not use undiluted
dish soap.
