
To remove a grease filter, release the
locking clip. Then, open the filter to a
45° angle, unhook it, and remove it
from the hood.
Cleaning the grease filters by hand
 Clean the filters with a soft nylon
brush in a mild solution of hot water
and dish soap. Do not use undiluted
dish soap.
Unsuitable cleaning agents
Unsuitable cleaners can cause damage
to the filter surfaces if used regularly.
Do not use any of the following:
– Lime removers
– Abrasive powders or abrasive liquids
– Aggressive all-purpose cleaners and
degreaser sprays
– Oven sprays
Cleaning the grease filters in a
dishwasher
 Place the grease filters upright or
slightly inclined in the lower basket.
Ensure the spray arm is not
obstructed.

Use a commonly available household
dishwashing detergent.
 In a Miele dishwasher use the
“Normal” program.
Depending on the detergent used,
cleaning the filters in a dishwasher
may cause the inside filter surfaces to
become discolored. However, this will
not affect the functioning of the grease
filters in any way.
After cleaning

After cleaning, leave the filters on an
absorbent surface to dry.

When removing the filters for
cleaning, also clean off any
accessible oil or fat buildup from the
housing. Doing so will prevent a fire
hazard.
 Reinstall the grease filters. When
inserting the filters, make sure that
the locking clip is facing down.
 If the filters have been installed
incorrectly, you can insert a small
screwdriver into the slit to disengage
the locking clip.
