Cleaning and care
34
Operating hours counter
The cooker hood registers the length of
time for which it has been operated.
When the grease filter symbol or the
charcoal filter symbol lights up, the
operating hours counters are signalling
that the filters need to be cleaned or
replaced.
You can set the operating hours counter
to suit the type of cooking you do (see
“Changing settings”).
Grease filter(s)
Fire hazard
An oversaturated grease filter is a fire
hazard.
Clean the grease filter at regular
intervals.
The re-usable metal grease filter in the
appliance remove solid particles from
the kitchen vapours (grease, dust, etc.),
preventing soiling of the cooker hood.
The grease filter must be cleaned at
regular intervals.
A heavily soiled grease filter hinders
air extraction and will lead to
increased levels of soiling in the
cooker hood and in the kitchen.
Cleaning interval
Accumulated grease solidifies over a
longer period of time and makes
cleaning more difficult. The grease
filter(s) should therefore be cleaned at
least every 3 to 4 weeks.
The operating hours counter reminds
you to regularly clean the grease filter
by illuminating the grease filter
symbol.
Removing a grease filter
When handling a grease filter, be
careful not to drop it.
This can result in damage to the filter
and the hob below.
Make sure you hold the filter securely
at all times when handling it.
Pull out the deflector plate.
Push the grease filter on the right-
hand side to the left and unlock it on
the left-hand side.
Pull the grease filter down to remove
it.
Cleaning the grease filter by hand
Clean the filter with a soft nylon brush
in a mild solution of hot water and a
small amount of washing-up liquid.
Do not use “neat” washing up liquid.
