Miele 09 767 780 Grease filters, Cleaning interval, Removing a grease filter

Cleaning and care

Grease filters

The re-usable metal grease filters in the appliance remove solid particles (grease, dust, etc.) from the kitchen vapours, preventing soiling of the cooker hood.

An oversaturated filter is a fire hazard.

Cleaning interval

The grease filters should be cleaned regularly (at least every 3 - 4 weeks) to avoid a build-up of grease.

Clean them immediately if the Grease filter operating hours symbol  lights up.

You can set the operating hours counter for the grease filters to suit the type of cooking you do (see "Operation").

Removing a grease filter

The grease filter can fall out when you are handling it.

This can result in damage to the filter and the hob below.

Make sure you hold the filter securely at all times when handling it.

To take out a grease filter, release the locking clip on the filter, lower the filter approx. 45°, unhook it at the back and remove it.

Cleaning the grease filters by hand

Clean the filters with a soft nylon brush in a mild solution of hot water and a small amount of washing-up liquid. Do not use "neat" washing up liquid.

Unsuitable cleaning agents

Unsuitable cleaning agents can cause damage to the surface of the filters if used regularly.

Do not use:

–cleaning agents containing descaling agents

–powder cleaners, cream cleaners

–aggressive multi-purpose cleaning agents or spray cleaners for grease

–oven sprays
