Grease Filters - Miele DA 186 Operating And Installation Instructions

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.
They should be cleaned at least every
3-4 weeks to avoid grease sticking hard
to them.
,
An oversaturated filter is a fire
hazard.
^ Release the locking clips on the
grease filters, and carefully lower and
remove the filters.
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.
Cleaning and care
Do not use:
– neat washing-up liquid,
– cleaning agents containing
descaling agents,
– powder cleaners, cream cleaners or
abrasive all-purpose cleaning
agents,
– 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 on a
65°C programme, ensuring the spray
arm is not obstructed. If a Miele
dishwasher is being used, select the
Sensor wash programme.
^ Use a mild dishwasher detergent.
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
functioning of the grease filters in
any way.
^ After cleaning, leave the filters to dry
on an absorbent surface before
replacing them.
^ When removing the filters for
cleaning also clean off any residues
of oil or fat from the now accessible
housing to prevent the risk of these
catching fire.
