Miele DA5990W - Manual (Page 15)

Cleaning the grease filter
^ By hand: use a scrub brush with a
solution of warm water and mild
detergent.
Do not use pure detergent,
aggressive all purpose cleaners,
oven sprays, abrasive cleaning
agents or limescale removers. They
could destroy the filter.
^ In a dishwasher: place the filter
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.
^ After cleaning, the filter can be
placed on a towel to air dry.
^ While the filter is removed, clean any
dirt or grease from the interior casing
to prevent the risk of fire.
^ When putting the grease filter back
make sure that the locking clip is
facing the cooking surface.
^ If the filter is incorrectly installed,
insert a small screwdriver into the slit
along its edge to disengage it from
the casing.
