Cleaning and care Grease filters The reusable metal grease filters in the appliance remove the solid particles contained in kitchen vapors (fat, dust, etc.), thereby preventing the ventilation hood from becoming dirty.  A dirty filter is a fire hazard! Cleaning intervals Over longer periods of time, fat buildup on the grease filter hardens and makes cleaning more difficult. Therefore, we recommend cleaning the grease filters once every 3-4 weeks. By illuminating the grease filter symbol, the filter saturation counter  reminds you to regularly clean the grease filters.  You can adjust the interval of the filter saturation counter to match your cooking habits (see "Operation"). Removing the grease filters During removal, the filter may drop to the ground. This can result in damage to the filter and the cooktop. During cleaning, be sure to hold the filter securely.  To remove a grease filter, release the locking clip. Then, open the filter to a 45° angle, unhook it, and remove it from the hood. Cleaning the grease filters by hand  Clean the filters with a soft nylon brush in a mild solution of hot water and dish soap. Do not use undiluted dish soap. Unsuitable cleaning agents Unsuitable cleaners can cause damage to the filter surfaces if used regularly. Do not use any of the following: - Lime removers - Abrasive powders or abrasive liquids - Aggressive all-purpose cleaners and degreaser sprays - Oven sprays 27
