Cleaning and Care Grease filter Removing the decor cover The decor panel and reusable metal grease filter remove solid particles from the vented kitchen air (grease, dust, etc). The grease filter is visible when the decor cover is removed. The grease filters should be cleaned every 3 - 4 weeks, when the grease filter indicator lights, or when they are visibly dirty, whichever comes first. Always clean both the decor panel and the grease filter. ,A dirty filter is a fire hazard.
Cleaning and Care Cleaning the grease filters ^ By hand: use a scrub brush with a solution of warm water and mild detergent. Do not use the pure detergent, aggressive all purpose cleaners, oven sprays or limescale removers. They could destroy the filters. ^ In a dishwasher: place the filters vertically in the lower basket, making sure that the spray arm is not blocked. Use a wash program with a max. temperature of 150°F (65°C). In a Miele dishwasher use the "Normal" program.
Cleaning and Care Active charcoal filters In recirculation mode an active charcoal filter must be used in addition to the grease filter. The charcoal filter is designed to absorb cooking odors. Replacement active charcoal filters can be ordered from Miele. ^ The decor cover must be removed to access the active charcoal filter. See "Cleaning and Care". ^ Before inserting an active charcoal filter for the first time remove the connector for use in air extraction mode.
Cleaning and Care Replace the active charcoal filter when the charcoal filter indicator lights. Replace the filter at least every 6 months or when it no longer absorbs odors efficiently. The old charcoal filter can be disposed of in the household waste. ^ After replacing the charcoal filters, press and hold the charcoal filter button for about 3 seconds to reset the charcoal filter timer. The indicator light will go out.
