Cleaning And Care; Housing; Grease Filters - Miele DA 196 Operating Instructions Manual

Cleaning and Care

Before any cleaning or maintenance
work the cooker hood must be dis-
connected from the mains supply.
Depending on type of installation
either:
– switch it off at the wall socket and
remove the plug (do not pull on the
cable, only on the plug), or
– withdraw the fuse from the fused
spur connection unit (if accessible),
or
– withdraw the mains fuse, or
– remove the screw out fuse (in
countries where this is applicable).

Housing

The cooker hood housing may be
cleaned using hot water to which a little
mild washing-up liquid 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 stain-
less steel cleaner is suitable.
Cleaning and Care

Grease filters

Re-usable metal grease filters are fitted
which remove solid particles (oil, dust,
etc.) from the kitchen vapours, prevent-
ing soiling of the cooker hood.
The grease filters should be cleaned
regularly to avoid a build-up of fat, (ap-
prox. 3-4 weeks or more frequently if
necessary).
An over-greasy filter is a fire hazard.
To remove a grease filter press the
hand hold catch towards the middle
of the filter.
Remove the filter(s).
