Cleaning and Care
Grease filters
The reusable metal grease filters in the hood remove solid particles from the vented kitchen air (grease, dust, etc) and prevent soiling of the ventilation system.
The grease filters should be cleaned every 3 - 4 weeks.
A dirty filter is a fire hazard. |
To remove the grease filter pull the locking clips forward 1., lower the filter down 45° 2., unhook it at the rear 3., and take it out.
Support the grease filter so that it does not fall and damage the cooktop.
Cleaning the grease filter
By hand: use a scrub brush with a solution of warm water and mild detergent.
Do not use the 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 filters are removed, clean any dirt or grease from the filter casing.
