Filters and maintenance
qUnhook the security chain by opening the
shackle, then lift the grid upward.
qRemove the lters one by one.
qAny kind of bending of the lters has to be
avoided when washing them. Before tting
them again into the hood make sure that they
are completely dry. (The colour of the lter sur-
face may change throughout the time but this
has no inuence to the lter efciency).
qPut the clean lters back on the Grid in its place
qHook the security chain and put back the Grid

Grease lters:
Metal-mesh lters are used to trap the grease
particles in the cooking vapours.
The lter mats are made from noncombustible
metal.
Caution:
As the lter becomes more and more saturated with
grease, there is an increased risk of re and the
function of the extractor hood may be impaired.
Important:
By cleaning the metal grease lters at appropriate
intervals, the possibility of them catching re as a re-
sult of a build-up of heat such as occurs when deep-
fat frying or roasting is taking place, is reduced.
Filters can be washed in the dish machine. They
need to be washed every 2 month, or even more
frequently in case of particularly intensive use of the
hood.
Removing and inserting metal self- supporting
grease lters
qFirst unhook the lter-holding Grid by pressing
