Filters and maintenance
Different grease filters can be used to
absorb the grease particles in kitchen
vapour.
Fleece grease filter:
The filter mat consists of highly
flameresistant material.
Attention:
A build up of greasy residue increases
flammability, and the function of the
extractor hood may be impaired.
Important:
Replace the fleece grease filter in good
time, otherwise there is a risk of fire from
the heat which accumulates during deep-
fat frying or roasting.
Replacing the fleece grease filter:
❑ During normal operation (daily 1 to 2
hours) the fleece grease filter must be
replaced every 8 to 10 weeks.
❑ Replace printed fleece grease filters at
the latest when the coloured print
dissolves.
Only use original filters.
❑ These comply with the safety
regulations and ensure optimum
function.
Disposal if the old fleece grease filter:
❑ Fleece grease filters do not contain any
harmful substances. They can be
disposed of as bio-degradable waste.
Metal grease filters:
The filter mats consist of non-flammable
metal.
Attention:
A build up of greasy residue increases
flammability, and the function of the
extractor hood may be impaired.
Important:
Replace the metal grease filter in good
time, otherwise there is a risk of fire from
the heat which accumulates during deep-
fat frying or roasting.
Cleaning the metal grease filters:
❑ During normal operation (daily 1 to 2
hours) metal grease filters must be
replaced every 8 to 10 weeks.
❑ The metal grease filter can be cleaned in
the dishwasher. Slight discoloration may
occur.
Important:
❑ Do not clean heavily saturated metal
grease filters together with kitchen
utensils.
❑ If cleaning by hand, soak the filter mats
in a hot soapy solution for several hours.
Then brush them off, rinse thoroughly
and leave to dry.
❑
Only use original filters.
These ensure optimum function.
