Grease Filter - Miele SmartLine CSDA 7000 FL Operating And Installation Instructions

Cleaning and care

Grease filter

The reusable metal grease filter
removes solid particles from kitchen
vapours (grease, dust, etc.) and
therefore prevents soiling of the
downdraft extractor. Accumulated
grease solidifies over a longer period of
time and makes cleaning more difficult.
The grease filter should therefore be
cleaned at least every 3 to 4 weeks.
Fire hazard due to fat.
An oversaturated filter is a fire
hazard.
Clean the grease filter regularly.
Removing the grease filter
 Remove the FlameGuard.
 Carefully remove the grease filter.
Ensure that you do not tilt the grease
filter.
 Pour out any liquid which has
collected at the bottom of the grease
filter.
Cleaning the grease filter by hand
 Clean the grease filter with a soft
nylon brush in a mild solution of hot
water and a little washing-up liquid.
Do not use concentrated washing-up
liquid.
Cleaning the grease filter in the
dishwasher
 Place the grease filter with its base
facing upwards in the lower basket.
Ensure the spray arm is not
obstructed.
 Use a standard household
dishwasher detergent.
24
 Select a dishwasher programme with
a wash temperature between 50 °C
and 65 °C.
Depending on the detergent used,
cleaning the grease filter in a
dishwasher can cause permanent
discolouration to the internal surfaces
of the filter. This will not affect the
functioning of the grease filter in any
way.
Fitting the grease filter
 Fit the grease filter so that the open
side of the grease filter is on the open
side of the casing.
Interior of the casing
 When removing the grease filter for
cleaning, also clean off any
accessible oil or fat build-up from the
casing. Doing so will prevent a fire
hazard.
