This guide follows the Bosch DFT60BC24 English user manual, 'Cleaning and servicing.' Its metal grease filter can be hand-washed or cleaned in a dishwasher under the specified conditions. Do not apply these steps to charcoal odour filters or other components. Bosch advises cleaning grease filters approximately every two months because accumulated grease is a fire risk. Stop and seek qualified help if access, electrical safety or sharp edges are a concern.

1. Confirm and disconnect — Verify the DFT60BC24 metal grease filter. Switch off the hood, unplug it or isolate power at the fuse box, and allow it to cool fully. Never use steam or high-pressure cleaning.
2. Support and remove — Clear the cooktop, hold the underside of the filter with one hand, release its locks and remove it horizontally. Watch for dripping grease, falling parts and sharp edges.
3. Soak in warm soapy water — As the manual directs, soak the removed metal grease filter in warm soapy water with a suitable detergent. Never use highly acidic, highly caustic or industrial cleaners on aluminium parts.
4. Brush and rinse — Gently brush off grease, then rinse thoroughly. Do not squeeze or distort the filter or use abrasive pads. If using the permitted dishwasher option, follow this model's maximum 70°C limit and loosely positioned filter guidance.
5. Drain thoroughly — Leave the filter in a stable location until water has drained well. Keep moisture away from the hood's controls and electrical parts; do not reinstall a dripping filter.
6. Refit and check locks — Support the filter as you fit it back, fold it up and engage both locking points securely. Verify it is fixed before operating; never run the hood without the grease filter.
