Cleaning and care
Grease filter
The reusable metal grease filter re-
moves solid particles from kitchen va-
pours (grease, dust, etc.) and therefore
prevents soiling of the downdraft ex-
tractor. Accumulated grease solidifies
over a longer period of time and makes
cleaning more difficult. The grease filter
should therefore be cleaned at least
every 3 to 4 weeks.
An oversaturated filter is a fire haz-
ard.
Clean the grease filter regularly.
Removing the grease filter
Remove the FlameGuard.
Carefully remove the grease filter. En-
sure that you do not tilt the grease fil-
ter.
Pour out any liquid which has collec-
ted at the bottom of the grease filter.
Cleaning the grease filter by hand
Clean the grease filter with a soft
nylon brush in a mild solution of hot
water and a little washing-up liquid.
Do not use concentrated washing-up
liquid.
Cleaning the grease filter in the dish-
washer
Place the grease filter with its base
facing upwards in the lower basket.
Ensure the spray arm is not obstruc-
ted.
Use a commercially available house-
hold dishwasher detergent.

THE EASIEST WAY TO SELF-IMPORT APPLIANCES DIRECT FROM EUROPE.
Select a dishwasher programme with
a wash temperature between 50 °C
and 65 °C.
Depending on the detergent used,
cleaning the grease filter in a dish-
washer can cause permanent discol-
ouration to the internal surfaces of the
filter. However, this will not affect the
functioning of the grease filter in any
way.
Fitting the grease filter
Fit the grease filter so that the open
side of the grease filter is on the open
side of the casing.
Interior of the casing
When removing the grease filter for
cleaning, also clean off any access-
ible oil or fat build-up from the cas-
ing. Doing so will prevent a fire haz-
ard.
