Filters and maintenance
Grease filters:
Metal filters are used to trap the greasy
element of the vapours that develop
during cooking.
The filter mats are made from non-
combustible metal.
Caution:
As the filter becomes more and more
saturated with grease, not only does the
risk of catching fire increase, but the
efficiency of the extractor hood can also
be adversely affected.

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.
Saturation indicator:
When the grease filters are saturated
flashes. If you switch the hood off, then
the acoustic signal is removed.
The grease filters should be cleaned
straight away.

The filters must be placed loosely and
NOT wedged in the dishwasher
Important: Metal filters that are
saturared with grease should not be
washed together with other dishes.
