The grease filter must be cleaned once a month using non aggressive
detergents, either by hand or in the dishwasher, which must be set to a low
temperature and a short cycle. When washed in a dishwasher, the grease filter
may discolor slightly, but this does not affect its filtering capacity

It absorbs unpleasant odors caused by cooking.
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).
Eliminate excess water without damaging the filter, then put it in the oven
for 10 minutes at 100° C to dry completely. Replace the mattress every 3 years
and when the cloth is damaged.
