Cleaning and care
Grease filter / Extraction grille
The extraction grille and the reusable
metal grease filter in the downdraft
extractor collect solid matter from
kitchen vapours (grease, dust, etc.) and
therefore prevent soiling of the
downdraft extractor. Accumulated
grease solidifies over a longer period of
time and makes cleaning more difficult.
The grease filter should therefore be
cleaned at least every 3 to 4 weeks.
Risk of fire due to soiled grease
filter.
Grease collected in the grease filter
can ignite.
Clean the grease filter regularly.
Removing the grease filter
Remove the FlameGuard if
necessary.
Lift up the extraction grille.
Carefully remove the grease filter.
Ensure that you do not tilt the grease
filter.
Pour out any liquid which has
collected at the bottom of the grease
filter.
Cleaning the grease filter and the
extraction grille by hand
Clean the extraction grille and the
grease filter with a soft nylon brush in
a mild solution of hot water and a
little washing-up liquid. Do not use
concentrated washing-up liquid.

Cleaning the grease filter and the
extraction grille in the dishwasher
Place the extraction grille upright in
the lower basket.
Place the grease filter with its base
facing upwards in the lower basket.
Ensure the spray arm is not
obstructed.
Use a standard household
dishwasher detergent.
Select a dishwasher programme with
a maximum wash temperature of:
- 55 °C for the extraction grille
- 65 °C for the grease filter
Depending on the detergent used,
cleaning the grease filter in a
dishwasher can cause permanent
discolouration to the internal surfaces
of the filter. This will not affect the
functioning of the grease filter in any
way.
