Miele DA 219-2 EXT Ventilation Hood User Manual


 
Grease filters
Re-usable metal filters are fitted which
remove solid particles (oil, dust, etc.)
from the kitchen vapours, preventing
soiling of the cooker hood.
The filters should be cleaned regularly
(at least every 3-4 weeks) to avoid a
build-up of fat, but always clean as
soon as the grease filter touch control
lamp comes on.
An over saturated filter is a fire
hazard.
To take out the grease filters press
the locking clips in towards the
middle of the filter. Holding carefully,
lower and remove the filter.
Clean the filters
by hand: with a nylon brush warm
water with a little washing up liquid.
in a dishwasher: place the filters
with the short side upright in the
lower basket, ensuring the spray arm
is not obstructed.
Depending on the cleaning agent
used, cleaning the grease filters in
a dishwasher can cause permanent
discolouration to the surface of the
filters.
However, this will not affect the func-
tioning of the grease filters in any
way.
After cleaning, leave the filters to dry
on an absorbent surface before put-
ting them back in place.
When removing the filters for clean-
ing also clean off any residues of oil
or fat from the now accessible hous-
ing to prevent the risk of these catch-
ing fire.
When replacing the grease filters, en-
sure the locking clips are visible facing
down towards the hob.
Should the grease filters be put back
upside down:
insert a small screwdriver into the slits
to disengage them. Do not let them
drop on to the hob below.
After replacing the grease filters,
press the grease filter touch control
for approx. 3 seconds to re-set the
operating hours counter. The indica-
tor lamp will go out.
If the grease filters are cleaned be-
fore the operating hours counter has
reached its maximum, the grease fil-
ter touch control should be pressed
for approx. 6 seconds to reset the
counter to zero.
