The filter alarm on your AEG DPE5960G reminds you to clean or change the filters:

• **Grease Filter:** The LED indicator blinks red regularly for 30 seconds when the grease filter must be cleaned. This function activates after 40 hours of operation.

• Do not use abrasive detergents or brushes.

• Clean the surface of the appliance with a soft cloth with warm water and a mild detergent.

3. Repeat the first two steps for all filters.

4. Clean the filters using a sponge with non-abrasive detergents.

5. To mount the filters back, follow the first two steps in reverse order. Repeat for all filters if applicable.

Depending on the type, the filter may or may not be regenerated. Refer to the leaflet provided with the filter. To replace the filter:

1. Remove the grease filters from the appliance.

2. Pull the tabs towards the bottom part of the filter.

3. Slightly tilt the front of the filter downwards, then pull.

In any case, it is necessary to replace the filters at least every four months.
