4. Care and Cleaning
4.1 Notes on Cleaning
Do not use abrasive detergents and brushes.
Clean the surface of the appliance with a soft cloth, warm water, and a mild detergent. After cooking, some parts of the appliance can get hot. To avoid stains, allow the appliance to cool down and dry with a clean cloth or paper towels. Clean stains with a mild detergent.
Clean the appliance and grease filters each month. Clean the interior and grease filters carefully to remove fat. Fat accumulation or other residue may cause fire.
Grease filters can be washed in a dishwasher. The dishwasher must be set to a low temperature and a short cycle. The grease filter may discolour, but this has no influence on the appliance's performance.
Charcoal Filter: The saturation time of the charcoal filter varies depending on the type of cooking and the regularity of grease filter cleaning. The activated charcoal filter is not washable and cannot be regenerated. It must be replaced approximately every 4-6 months of operation, or more frequently for particularly heavy usage.
4.2 Cleaning the Grease Filter
Filters are mounted with clips and pins on the opposite side.
To clean the filter:
- Press the handle of the mounting clip on the filter panel underneath the hood (1).
- Slightly tilt the front of the filter downwards (2), then pull. Repeat these steps for all filters.
- Clean the filters using a sponge with non-abrasive detergents or in a dishwasher.
- To mount the filters back, follow the first two steps in reverse order. Repeat for all filters if applicable.
Note: The dishwasher must be set to a low temperature and a short cycle. The grease filter may discolour, but this has no influence on the appliance's performance.
4.3 Replacing the Charcoal Filter
WARNING! The charcoal filter is NON-washable! The filter cannot be regenerated!
To replace the charcoal filter:
- Remove the grease filters from the appliance. Refer to "Cleaning the grease filter" in this chapter.
