Cleaning the grease filters in the dishwasher
Place the filters as upright as possible in the lower basket, with the short sides upright, and wash on a 65°C programme, ensuring the spray arm is not obstructed. If a Miele dishwasher is being used, select the Sensor wash programme.
Use a mild dishwasher detergent.
Depending on the cleaning agent used, cleaning the grease filter in a dishwasher can cause permanent discolouration to the surface. However, this will not affect the functioning of the filter in any way.
After cleaning, leave the filter to dry for a while on an absorbent surface before putting it back in place.
When removing the filter for cleaning, also clean off any residues of oil or fat from the now accessible housing to prevent the risk of these catching fire.
When putting it back, make sure that the red plastic guides are at the front and facing upwards.
Replace the grease filter in the front of the deflector plate, press it upwards and push it in together with the deflector plate. It will slide onto the fixing pins at the back. Finally, push the grease filter back a little more.
