Cleaning and Care
Cleaning the grease filter
By hand: use a scrub brush with a solution of warm water and mild detergent.
Do not use pure detergent, aggressive all purpose cleaners, oven sprays, abrasive cleaning agents or limescale removers. They could destroy the filter.
In a dishwasher: place the filter vertically in the lower basket, making sure that the spray arm is not blocked.
Use a wash program with a max. temperature of 150°F (65°C). In a Miele dishwasher use the "Normal" program.
Use the recommended amount of dishwasher detergent. Overuse could destroy the filter.
Depending on the detergent, cleaning the grease filter in a dishwasher may cause permanent discoloration of the filter surface. Performance of the filter will not be affected by this discoloration.
After cleaning, the filter can be placed on a towel to air dry.
While the filter is removed, clean any dirt or grease from the interior casing to prevent the risk of fire.
When putting the grease filter back make sure that the locking clip is facing the cooking surface.
If the filter is incorrectly installed, insert a small screwdriver into the slit along its edge to disengage it from the casing.
