Grease filter/extraction grille
The extraction grille and the reusable
metal grease filter in the vapour extrac-
tion fan collect solid matter from kit-
chen vapours (grease, dust, etc.) and
therefore prevent soiling of the
downdraft extractor. Accumulated
grease solidifies over a longer period of
time and makes cleaning more difficult.
The grease filter should therefore be
cleaned at least every 3–4weeks.
 Risk of fire due to soiled grease
filter.
Grease collected in the grease filter
can ignite.
Clean the grease filter regularly.
Removing the grease filter
 Remove the FlameGuard if neces-
sary.
 Lift up the extraction grille.
 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 extraction grille and the
grease filter by hand
 Clean the extraction grille and 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 extraction grille and the
grease filter in the dishwasher
 Place the extraction grille upright in
the lower basket.
 Place the grease filter with its base
facing upwards in the lower basket.
Ensure the spray arm is not obstruc-
ted.
 Use a standard household dish-
washer detergent.
 Select a dishwasher programme with
a maximum wash temperature of:
- 55°C for the extraction grille
- 65°C for the grease filter
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.
