Metal-mesh grease filters have been
installed to filter grease particles out of
the kitchen fumes.
The filter mats are made of incombustible
metal.
Attention:
As grease accumulates in the filter, there is
an increased risk of the filter catching fire
and the extractor hood may malfunction.
Important:
By cleaning the metal grease filters at
appropriate intervals, the possibility of them
catching fire as a result of a build-up of heat
such as occurs when deep-fat frying or
roasting is taking place, is reduced.
Cleaning the metal-mesh grease filters:
During normal operation (1 to 2 hours daily),
the metal-mesh grease filters should be
cleaned every 8 – 10 weeks.
❑
The filters can be cleaned in the
dishwasher.
However, the filters may be slightly
discoloured.
Important:
If the metal-mesh grease filters are very
dirty, do NOT wash them in the
dishwasher with other pots and pans.
❑
When cleaning by hand, soak the filter
mats for several hours in a hot soap
solution.
Then brush them off, rinse thoroughly
and allow to drip dry.
❑
To ensure the best possible results,
use only original filters.
