as soon as you begin cooking.
❑
Switch the ventilator OFF
a few minutes after you have finished
cooking.

Various types of grease filter can be
used to absorb the grease contained in
the vapours produced during cooking.
Fleece grease filter
The filter mat is made from material that is
itself virtually non-inflammable.
Caution:
As it becomes more and more saturated
with grease however, the filter becomes
increasingly inflammable. The efficiency of
the extractor hood can also be adversely
affected.
Important:
Renewing the fleece filter at appropriate
intervals prevents the possibility of it
catching fire as a result of a build-up of
heat, such as occurs when deep-fat frying
or roasting is taking place.
Renewing the fleece filter:
❑
Under normal operating conditions
(1 to 2 hours per day), the fleece filter
will require replacing after 8 to 10
weeks. Printed fleece filters must be
renewed no later than when the colou-
red printing has started to fade.
❑
Use only original replacement filters.
In so doing you will ensure that safety
regulations are upheld and the extractor
hood performs as effectively as possi-
ble.
Disposing of the old fleece grease filter:
Fleece grease filters do not contain any
pollutants. They can be composted and
disposed of as biodegradable waste.
