8 Care and maintenance
Cleaning the grease filters
▸ Clean the grease filters in the dishwasher.
▸ Select an «intensive» or «heavy» wash programme.
Cleaning may cause the grease filters to become slightly discoloured. However,
this will not affect the functioning of the filters in any way.
If no dishwasher is available:
▸ Clean the grease filters in the sink with hot water and detergent.
▸ Then soak the grease filters in hot water in the sink for about 2 hours and finally clean
with a washing-up brush. Rinse well with clean, cold water.
–
Grease filters can be used again after being cleaned.
▸ If necessary, clean around the outside of the filter cassette with a warm, damp cloth
and a little detergent and then wipe dry with a kitchen towel.
The filter cassette can be cleaned in the dishwasher together with the grease fil-
ters. Place the filter cassette in the dishwasher with the handle facing down or to
the side.
Inserting the filter cassette
▸ Reassemble in the reverse order.
▸ Ensure that the lug on the grease filter is at the top.
Resetting the saturation indicator for the grease filters
▸ In the display, touch the grease filter .
–
The «Filter» menu is displayed.

With normal use, the activated charcoal filters have to be changed every 3 years or
whenever the saturation indicator illuminates. Replace all the activated charcoal filters
at the same time. The spent activated charcoal filters can be disposed of in the house-
hold waste or at a suitable recycling point.
