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 it 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: F
The grease filter saturation display F flashes
after an operating time of 30 hours to you
indicate to you that you should clean the grease
filter. The grease filters can of course be cleaned
at any time, even if the grease filter saturation
display has not started to flash.
Cleaning the metal grease filters:
•
In normal operation (1 to 2 hours daily), the
metal grease filter must be cleaned
1 x a month.
•
The filters can be cleaned in a dishwasher. It is
however possible that they will become slightly
discoloured.
•
The filter must be placed loosely, and NOT
wedged, in the dishwasher.
Important :
Metal filters that are saturated with grease
should not be washed together with other
dishes etc.
•
When cleaning the filters by hand, soak them in
hot soapy water first of all.
Do not use aggressive, acidic or caustic
cleaners.
Then brush the filters clean, rinse them
thoroughly and leave the water to drain off.
Removing and inserting the metal grease filters:
