Grease filters
The reusable metal grease filters
remove solid particles from the vented
kitchen air (grease, dust, etc).
The grease filters should be cleaned
every 3 - 4 weeks or whenever the
grease filter indicator lights.
A dirty filter is a fire hazard.
^ To remove the grease filters press the
locking clips in towards the middle of
the filter. Holding carefully, lower and
remove the filter.
^ Clean the filters
- by hand: use a scrub brush in
warm water with a mild detergent.
-
in a dishwasher: place the filters in
the lower basket, making sure that
the spray arm is not blocked.
Depending on the detergent,
cleaning the grease filters in a
dishwasher may cause permanent
discoloration of the filter surface.
Performance of the filter will not be
affected by this discoloration.
^ After cleaning, the filters can be
placed on a towel to air dry.
^ While the filters are removed, clean
any dirt or grease from the filter
casing to prevent the risk of fire.
When putting the grease filters back
make sure that the locking clips are
visible facing down towards the
cooking surface.
If a filter is incorrectly installed, insert a
small screwdriver into the slit along its
edge to disengage it from the casing.
^ After returning the grease filters,
press the grease filter button for
3 seconds to reset the timer.
The indicator light will go out.
^ If the grease filters are cleaned
before the timer has reached its
maximum, the grease filter button
should be pressed for 6 seconds to
reset the counter to zero.
