Cleaning and care
36
Cleaning the grease filters in the
dishwasher
Place the grease filters upright or
slightly inclined in the lower basket.
Ensure the spray arm is not
obstructed.
Use a commercially available
household dishwasher detergent.
Select a dishwasher programme with
a wash temperature between 50 °C
and 65 °C.
Depending on the detergent used,
cleaning the filters in a dishwasher
may cause the inside filter surfaces to
become discoloured. This will not
affect the functioning of the grease
filters in any way.
After cleaning
After cleaning, leave the filters to dry
on an absorbent surface before
replacing them.
When removing the filters for
cleaning, also clean off any residues
of oil or fat from the now accessible
housing to prevent the risk of these
catching fire.
Refit the grease filters.
Resetting the grease filter operating
hours counter
After cleaning, the operating hours
counter needs to be reset.
Whilst the fan is switched on, press
the operating hours control
for
approx. 3 seconds, until only
1
is
flashing.
The grease filter symbol
goes out.
If you want to clean the grease filters
before the operating hours counter has
reached its maximum:
Press the operating hours
control
for approx. 6 seconds,
until only
1
is flashing.
Replacing the grease filters
Regular usage and cleaning can cause
the filter surfaces to become worn.
If you identify any damage, replace the
grease filters.
Grease filters are available to order via
the Miele Customer Service Department
(see end of these operating instructions
for contact details) or from your Miele
dealer.
Charcoal filters
With recirculation mode, two charcoal
filters must be fitted in addition to the
grease filters. These are designed to
absorb cooking odours.
Charcoal filters are available to order via
the Miele Webshop, the Miele Spare
Parts Department (see end of this
booklet for contact details) or from your
Miele dealer.
The type of charcoal filter required is
listed under “Technical data” at the
back of this booklet.
