Cleaning And Care - Miele DA 262 i Operating Instructions Manual

Cleaning and care

Before any cleaning or maintenance
work the cooker hood must be dis-
connected from the mains supply
by
– switching it off at the wall socket
and removing the plug (do not pull
on the cable, only on the plug), or
– the mains fuse is withdrawn, or
– the screw-out fuse is removed, (in
countries where this is applicable).
Housing
The cooker hood housing may be
cleaned using hot water to which a little
mild detergent has been added. Dry
with a soft cloth.
Never use a cleaner which scours
or contains chlorine, acids or soda.
These would damage the surface of
the cooker hood.
A mild, non-abrasive proprietary
stainless steel cleaner is suitable.
Grease filters
Re-usable metal grease filters are built-
in which remove solid particles (oil,
dust, etc.) from the kitchen vapours,
preventing soiling of the cooker hood.
The grease filters can be cleaned in a
dishwasher or by hand.
The grease filters should be cleaned
regularly to ensure a trouble free oper-
ation of the extractor fan, at least every
1 or 2 months, or when they are visibly
saturated or no longer effective.
An over-greasy filter can lead to
danger or fire.
Cleaning and care
To remove the grease filters push the
filter holder retainers towards the
middle.
Take out the grease filters.
DA 272 i, DA 292 i only:
Press the clips at the side in using a
blunt instrument and remove the re-
tainers. Pull the filter cassettes and
link pieces out for cleaning. Clean
the edges of the frame by hand. The
other parts can be cleaned in the
dishwasher.
Clean the grease filters
– by hand: with a scrubbing brush in
hot water with detergent.
– in a dishwasher: place the filters
with the short side upright in the
lower basket, ensuring the spray
arm is not obstructed.
After cleaning leave the filters to dry
for a while on an absorbent surface
before putting back in place.
