Cleaning and care
Fitting and replacing the charcoal filters
If the cooker hood is connected for recirculation, a charcoal filter must be inserted in addition to the grease filters. This is designed to absorb cooking odours.
It is fitted in the canopy above the grease filters.
New charcoal filters can be purchased from your Miele dealer, from the Miele Spare Parts Department or via the internet at www.miele.shop.com.
See back cover for contact details, and "Technical data" for the model number of the filter.
Before fitting or replacing a charcoal filter, the grease filters must first be taken out (see previous section for instructions on how to do this).
Remove the charcoal filter from the packaging and place in the recess as shown.
Replace the grease filters.
When fitting for the first time:
Activate the operating hours counter (see "Operation").
Always replace the charcoal filter im- mediately if
–the Charcoal filter sensor lights up
or
–it is no longer effective at absorbing kitchen odours.
It should, however, be replaced at least every 6 months.
Used charcoal filters can be disposed of with the normal household waste.
Resetting the charcoal filter operating hours counter
After replacing the charcoal filters, the operating hours counter needs to be reset.
Whilst the fan is switched on, touch the Charcoal filter sensor for approx. 3 seconds until only the 1 sensor is flashing.
The Charcoal filter sensor will go out.
If you want to change the charcoal filter before the operating hours counter has reached its maximum:
Touch the Charcoal filter sensor for approx. 6 seconds until only the 1 sensor is flashing.
