After cleaning the grease filter, remount in reverse order ensuring the entire extraction surface is covered. To clean the washable charcoal filter: The charcoal filter can be washed once every two months using hot water and a suitable detergent, or in a dishwasher at 65°C (if the dishwasher is used, select the full cycle function and leave dishes out).
