Washing filters by hand:
Immerse the filter in hot water and a suitable detergent; when clean, rinse with plenty of hot water. Dry the filters with a cloth after washing, avoid leaving them to dry out by themselves.‍

Washing filters in the dishwasher:
Put the filter in the dishwasher and select a short program at low-moderate temperature (for stainless steel baffles you can use a higher temperature setting for a more thorough clean).

Please note: Stainless steel filters lose shine after a few cleaning processes - this is normal. Filters should be cleaned every 3-6 weeks or after 40 hours of use. For induction cooktops, please aim to clean them at least every 10 days, depending on use.
