Grease filters
The reusable metal grease filters re-
move 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. Support grease filter so that
it does not fall on to the cooktop.
^ Clean the filters
- by hand: use a scrub brush in
warm water with a mild detergent.
-
in a dishwasher: place the filters
vertically in the lower basket, making
sure that the spray arm is not
blocked.
Depending on the detergent, clean-
ing 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 cas-
ing to prevent the risk of fire.
When putting the grease filters back
make sure that the locking clips are vis-
ible facing the cooking surface.
If the filters are incorrectly installed, in-
sert 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 indi-
cator light will go out.
^ If the grease filters are cleaned be-
fore the grease filter timer has
reached its maximum, the grease fil-
ter button should be pressed for
6 seconds to reset the counter to
zero.
