Cleaning and Maintenance:
Important notes
•
Grease deposits in the grease filter may catch fire.
•
Clean the grease filter at least every 2 months.
•
Never operate the appliance without the grease filter.
•
Do not use any aggressive, acidic or alkaline cleaning agents.
•
When cleaning the aluminium grease filters, also clean the holder filters in the
hood using a damp cloth (ensure the hood is turned off).
•
The filters can be cleaned in the dishwasher or by hand.
Dishwasher:
1. Do not clean heavily soiled metal mesh grease filters together with utensils.
2. Place the aluminium grease filters loosely in the dishwasher.
3. The filters must not be wedged in.
4. The temperature should be 60
ºC
or less
Note: If the filters are cleaned in the dishwasher, slight discolouration may occur.
This has no effect on the function of the metal mesh grease filters.
By hand:
1. Soak the aluminium grease filters in a hot soapy water.
2. Clean the filters with a brush before rinsing them thoroughly.
3. Leave the filters to drain and put them back in to the hood when dry.
