Grease filters
The re-usable metal grease filters in the
appliance remove solid particles
(grease, dust, etc.) from the kitchen
vapours, preventing soiling of the
cooker hood.
The grease filters should be cleaned
regularly (at least every 3-4 weeks) to
avoid a build-up of grease, but always
clean immediately if the Grease filter
sensor [ lights up.
Grease which builds up on the grease
filters over a long period of time can
harden, making cleaning more difficult.
,
An oversaturated filter is a fire
hazard.
^
To take out the grease filters, release
the locking clip on the filters, lower
the filters 45°, unhook them at the
back and remove them.
To avoid damaging the filters or the
hob below, make sure you hold the
filters securely at all times when
handling them.
Cleaning the grease filters by hand
^
Clean the filters with a soft nylon
brush in a mild solution of hot water
and a little washing-up liquid.
Do not use "neat" washing-up liquid.
Avoid:
–
cleaning agents containing
descaling agents,
–
powder cleaners, cream cleaners or
abrasive all-purpose cleaners.
–
oven sprays.
Cleaning the grease filters in the
dishwasher
^ Place the filters as upright as
possible in the lower basket, with the
short sides upright, and wash using a
65°C programme, ensuring the spray
arm is not obstructed.
^ Select a programme with a maximum
temperature of 65° C. If a Miele
dishwasher is being used, select the
Sensor wash programme.
^
Use a mild dishwasher detergent.
Depending on the dishwasher
detergent used, cleaning the filters
in a dishwasher can cause
permanent discolouration to the
surface.
However, this will not affect the
functioning of the filters in any way.
