Cleaning and care Baffle filter The reusable stainless steel baffle grease filters in the appliance absorb the solid particles of kitchen vapors (grease, dust, etc.) and prevent soiling of the ventilation hood  A dirty filter is a fire hazard! Removing the baffle filter 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. Cleaning intervals Accumulated grease solidifies over a longer period of time and makes cleaning more difficult. It is therefore recommended to clean the baffle filters every 3-4 weeks.  Push the baffle filter upward , pivot it down  and remove the filter.  If charcoal filters are installed on the back side of the baffle filter, remove them prior to cleaning (see "Charcoal filters"). 20
