Metal filter
Removing the filter
Fire hazard! Grease residues decrease
the extractor's performance and in-
crease the fire hazard. The metal filter
must be cleaned regularly to prevent a
fire hazard. The grease filters must be
cleaned twice a week.
Cleaning the grease filter
The metal filter is best cleaned in the
dishwasher or with a mild dishwashing
agent. The manufacturer accepts no
liability whatsoever for any discolour-
ation caused by the use of aggressive
dishwashing agents. Temperatures ex-
ceeding 55 degrees must be avoided in
all cases.
Caution: Do not use multiphase cleaning
agents. Do not clean the filter in an in-
dustrial washing machine. Cleaning with
aggressive agents such as petrol, ace-
tone, trichlorethylene, etc., will destroy
the filters!
Activated carbon filter
Regenerative activated carbon filters
The activated carbon filters are behind
the extraction grid and can be removed
by simply pulling them forwards.
The activated carbon filters can be re-
generated in a preheated oven (200° C);
the process takes 2 hours.
Note! Risk of burning!
• Do no regenerate the activated carbon
filters in a microwave oven.
• The oven's pyrolysis function must
never be used to regenerate the acti-
vated carbon filter.
• The activated carbon filters must be
cleaned with a damp cloth before their
regeneration.
The activated carbon filters must only be
taken out of the oven once they have
cooled down.
Regenerating the filters in the oven may
cause unpleasant smells in the oven!
The frequency at which the activated
carbon filter honeycomb needs to be
regenerated depends on the intensity of
the cooking. Nevertheless, the activated
carbon filters should always be regener-
ated every 2-3 months. Moreover, the
activated carbon filter must be cleaned
with a damp cloth every 2-3 months.
