Grease filter
The reusable metal grease filter
removes solid particles from the vented
kitchen air (grease, dust, etc).
The grease filter should be cleaned
every 3 - 4 weeks.
,
A dirty filter is a fire hazard.
^
To remove hold and pull out the
deflector and the grease filter
together.
^
Pull the grease filter downwards and
out. Support the grease filter so that it
does not fall onto the cooktop.
^
Turn the hood off.
Cleaning the 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 filter is removed, clean any
dirt or grease from the filter casing to
prevent the risk of fire.
