Instruction manual
1
Remove the metal hood filter and evaluate the degree of contamination.
2
If the hood is new, and you regularly clean it, it will be enough to lower the filter into hot water with diluted cleaning agent in it. Leave the filter in water for half an hour or an hour. After time, remove the filter, wipe with a sponge and rinse with water.
3
If the hood filter still remains dirty, try baking soda. Pour water into a large pot, add grated laundry soap and 3-4 tbsp. baking soda.
4
Dip the metal filter in water and set on fire. Boil for 5-10 minutes. Leave the filter for several hours in this water.
5
If even after cleaning with soda, grease remains on the wire rack, then you can put the filter on a baking sheet and pour it with cleaning agent for drains. Leave on for 10 minutes, then carefully drain the solution into the toilet, and rinse the filter under water.
note
Wear gloves when cleaning the hood filter. Chemicals can damage your skin.
Useful advice
If the filter does not fit entirely in the pan, then you can boil in portions - first one side, then the other.
