A clean stainless steel grease filter is essential for your BORA cooktop extractor system to work perfectly. So that you can benefit from top performance at all times, it is important to clean the filter regularly.
How often do you need to clean the stainless steel grease filter on your BORA system?
The air inlet nozzle, grease filter and filter tray should be cleaned every time you cook greasy foods or at least once a week. All removable parts can be taken out in a few simple steps and cleaned in the dishwasher. Use a programme with a maximum temperature of 65 °C and ensure that the parts are dry before reinstalling them.
An odour filter (activated charcoal filter) will only be fitted with the stainless steel grease filter if the cooktop extractor is used in recirculation mode.
Activated charcoal filters trap unpleasant cooking odours. As they have a limited capacity, the filter needs to be changed regularly – as soon as the activated charcoal is saturated and no more odours can be filtered through.
The frequency of the filter change depends on your BORA product and the corresponding activated charcoal filter. The appliance tells you when the filter needs changing (filter service display).
The activated charcoal filter must be changed after approximately 150 operating hours or when odours are not being filtered as effectively or extractor performance drops. To do that, use our activated charcoal filter set BAKFS for BORA Basic.
