Cleaning the grease filter by hand
^ Clean the filter with a soft nylon brush
in a mild solution of hot water and a
little washing-up liquid.
Do not use "neat" washing up liquid.
Do not use:
– cleaning agents containing
descaling agents,
– powder cleaners, cream cleaners or
abrasive all-purpose cleaners.
– oven sprays.
Cleaning the grease filter in the
dishwasher
^ Place the filters as upright as
possible in the lower basket, with the
short sides upright. Make sure that
the spray arm can move freely.
^ Do not wash at more than 65° C. 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 filters in a
dishwasher can cause permanent
discolouration to the surface.
However, this will not affect the
functioning of the filters in any way.
Cleaning and care
^ After cleaning, leave the filter to dry
for a while on an absorbent surface
before putting it back in place.
^ When removing the filter for cleaning,
also clean off any residues of oil or
fat from the now accessible housing
to prevent the risk of these catching
fire.
When putting the grease filter back in
position, ensure that the locking clip is
visible facing down towards the hob.
^ Should the grease filter be put back
upside down:
Insert a small screwdriver into the slit
to disengage it. Do not let it drop
onto the hob below.
