Metal grease filter: The filter mats consist of non-flammable material. Warning: 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 filter: ❑ During normal operation (daily 1 to 2 hours) the metal grease filter 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 with other dishes.
❑ If cleaning by hand, soak the grease filters in a hot soapy solution. Then brush off any residual grease, rinse thoroughly and leave to dry. ❑ Use only original filters. These ensure optimum function. 19 Filters and maintenance Removing and installing the metal filter: 1. Press in the interlocks on the left and right sides of the filter grille. 2.
