The Grease Filters
Your cooker hood includes a grease filter which helps to absorb grease from cooking to protect your kitchen
and furniture from greasy residues.
The filter may become flammable if it becomes saturated with this greasy residue.
To prevent this fire hazard, the filter should be cleaned or replaced regularly. Depending on use, this should
be done probably at least once a month, * using hot water and normal washing-up detergent.
(* Depending upon the type of grease sheet filter used)
