Grease filters: Metal filters are used to trap the greasyelement of the vapours that developduring cooking.The filter mats are made from non-combustible metal.Caution:As the filter becomes more and more saturated with grease, not only does therisk of it catching fire increase but the efficiency of the extractor hood can also beadversely affected.Important:By cleaning the metal grease filters atappropriate intervals, the possibility of themcatching fire as a result of a build-up of heatsuch as occurs when deep-fat frying or roasting is taking place, is reduced.Cleaning the metal grease filters:❑ In normal operation (1 to 2 hours daily),the metal grease filter must be cleanedafter 8 to 10 weeks.❑ The filters can be cleaned in a dish-washer. It is however possible that theywill become slightly discoloured.❑ The filter must be placed loosely, andNOT wedged, in the dishwasher.Important:Metal filters that are saturated with grease should not be washed togetherwith other dishes etc.❑ When cleaning the filters by hand, soakthem in hot soapy water first of all.Then brush the filters clean, rinse themthoroughly and leave the water to drain off.Lighting:❑ The light can be switched on at anytime, even though the fan is switched off.Fan OFFLightON / OFF

significantly reduces the fire hazard and

ensures that the extractor hood

performs as effectively as possible.

become matt in appearance.

Caution: Ensure that the kitchen is ade-

quately ventilated. Avoid naked flames!
