The grease filter filters the grease out of the kitchen

ule depends on the quantity and type of grease used
when cooking. To keep them in good working order,
you must clean the grease filters if there are visible
grease deposits or at least once a month.

Fatty deposits in the grease filters may catch fire.

ance (e.g.flambéing).

‒ Grease may accumulate in the bottom of the
container. Keep the grease filter level to prevent
grease from dripping out.
