Cleaning and care
Cleaning the grease filters by hand
^ Clean the filters with a soft nylon
brush in a mild solution of hot water
and a little washing-up liquid.
Do not use "neat" washing up liquid.
Do not use:
– cleaning agents containing
descaling agents,
– alkaline cleaning agents (with a pH
value higher than 7), such as powder
cleaners, cream cleaners or abrasive
all-purpose cleaning agents,
– oven sprays.
Cleaning the grease filters in the
dishwasher
^ Place the filters with the short side
upright in the lower basket, and wash
on a 65°C programme using a mild
dishwasher detergent, ensuring the
spray arm is not obstructed.
Avoid alkaline dishwasher detergents
(with a pH value higher than 7).
Depending on the cleaning agent
used, cleaning the filters in a
dishwasher can cause permanent
discolouration to the surface.
However, this will not affect the
functioning of the filters in any way.
^ After cleaning, leave the filters to dry
on an absorbent surface before
replacing them.
When removing the filters for cleaning,
also clean off any residues of oil or fat
from the now accessible housing to
prevent the risk of these catching fire.

When putting the grease filters back in
position, ensure that the locking clips
are facing down towards the hob.
Should the grease filters be put back
upside down:
^ Insert a small screwdriver into the
slots as shown to disengage them.
Do not let them drop onto the hob
below.
After cleaning and replacing the grease
filters, the grease filter operating
counters must be reset.
^ To do this, while the fan is switched
on, press and hold the grease filter
control until only the first of the – / +
indicator lamps is flashing.
^ The grease filter counter on the other
set of controls must also be reset in
the same way, even if this operating
hours counter has not yet reached its
maximum.
