Cleaning and care

20

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 the

dishwasher
 Place the filters as upright or inclined

as possible in the lower basket.

Ensure that the spray arm is not

obstructed.

 Use a common household

dishwasher detergent.

 Select a program with a wash

temperature between 122°F (50°C)

and 149°F (65°C). 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 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.
