Miele DA 424 V EXT - Manual (Page 20)

Controls
The controls may suffer
discolouration or damage if soiling is
left on them for too long. Remove
soiling straight away.
Observe the General notes on cleaning
earlier in this section.
Do not use stainless steel cleaning
agents on the controls.
Grease filters
Re-usable metal filters are fitted which
remove solid particles (oil, dust, etc.)
from the kitchen vapours, preventing
soiling of the cooker hood.
The grease filters should be cleaned
regularly (at least every 3-4 weeks) to
avoid a build-up of grease.
However, they should be cleaned im-
mediately if the grease filter touch
control lamp comes on.
An oversaturated filter is a fire
hazard.
^ To take out the grease filters, release
the locking clip on the filter, lower the
filter 45°, unhook it at the back and
remove it.
To avoid damaging the filter or the
hob below, make sure you hold the
filter securely at all times when
handling it.
^ Clean the filters
- by hand: with a soft nylon brush,
warm water and a little washing up
liquid.
-
in a dishwasher: place filters
upright in the lower basket, and wash
on a 65° programme, ensuring that
the spray arm is not obstructed.
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.
