Metal grease filter
The filter mat is made of non-combustible
metal.
Caution:
As it becomes more and more saturated
with grease, the filter also becomes
increasingly inflammable. The efficiency of
the extractor hood can also be adversely
affected.
Important:
Clean the metal grease filter at regular
intervals.
Cleaning the metal filter:
Under normal operating conditions (1 to 2
hours per day), the metal grease filter will
require cleaning after 8 to 10 weeks.
❑
The filter can be cleaned in a
dishwasher.
This can however cause slight
discoloration.
Important:
Metal filters that are heavily saturated with
grease should not be cleaned at the same
time as any crockery, etc.
❑
If the filter mat is going to be cleaned by
hand, soak it first of all in a hot deter-
gent solution for several hours.
Clean the filter with a brush, rinse it off
thoroughly and allow it to drip dry.
❑
Use only original replacement filters.
In so doing you will be ensuring that the
extractor hood performs as effectively
as possible.
