Fitting and replacing the
charcoal filter
If the cooker hood is connected for
recirculation, a charcoal filter must be
inserted in addition to the grease filter.
This is designed to absorb cooking
odours.
It is fitted in the canopy above the
grease filter.
Replacement charcoal filters can be
obtained from your dealer or the
Miele Spare Parts department
See back cover for contact details,
and "Technical data" for type and
reference number.
^ Before fitting or replacing a charcoal
filter, the grease filter must first be
taken out (see previous section for
instructions on how to do this).
^ Take the charcoal filter out of its
packaging.
^ Insert the charcoal filter into the
canopy. The tab for removing it
should be at the front.
When fitting for the first time:
^ Set the operating hours counter to
suit your requirements (see
"Operation").

Always replace the charcoal filter im-
mediately if
– the indicator lamp for the charcoal
filter touch control lights up,
or
– if it is no longer effective in absorbing
kitchen odours.
It should, however, be replaced at least
every 6 months.
Used charcoal filters can be disposed
of with the normal household waste.

seconds to reset the counter.
