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. ^ If the grease filter is cleaned before the timer has reached its maximum, the grease filter button should be pressed for 6 seconds to reset the counter to zero. Inserting the grease filter ^ 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. Use the recommended amount of dishwasher detergent. Overuse could destroy the filter. Depending on the detergent, cleaning the grease filter in a dishwasher may cause permanent discoloration of the filter surface. Performance of the filter will not be affected by this discoloration. ^ Angle the grease filter into position toward the front of the hood. ^ Once the front edge of the filter is in place, push up the rear of the filter so that both sides click into place. Inserting the decor cover ^ After cleaning, the filter can be placed on a towel to air dry. ^ For cleaning the decor cover see "Cleaning the casing". ^ While the filter is removed, clean any dirt or grease from the filter casing to prevent the risk of fire. ^ After returning the grease filter, press the grease filter button for 3 seconds to reset the timer. The indicator light will go out. ^ Hook the decor cover on to the latches on the rear panel of the chimney. Push the cover up at the front so that it clicks in place. 19
