Miele DAG 500 - Manual (Page 14)

Cleaning the grease filters
^ By hand: use a scrub brush with a
solution of warm water and mild dish
soap.
Do not use the pure detergent,
aggressive all purpose cleaners,
oven sprays, abrasive cleaning
agents or limescale removers. They
could damage the filter.
^ In a dishwasher: place the filter
vertically in the lower basket, making
sure that the spray arm is not
blocked.
Use a hot temperature program,
e.g. "Heavy Soil" or "Pots and pans".
Use the recommended amount of
dishwasher detergent. Overuse of
detergent could damage the filter.
Depending on the detergent,
cleaning the grease filters in a
dishwasher may cause permanent
discoloration of the filter surface.
Filter performance will not be
affected by this discoloration.
^ After cleaning, place the filters on a
towel to air dry.
^ While the filters are removed, clean
any dirt or grease from the filter
casing.
^ Place the filters in the bottom of the
vent. Press them downwards at the
edge so that they clip into the frame
at the top.
^ Press the 0/1 button to turn the
appliance on.
If the retractable vent does not work after
the cleaned filters have been replaced:
^ Press the grease filters firmly into
position again.
There is a switch at the top, behind
the grease filters. It prevents the
ventilation system from being turned
on when the grease filters are not in
place.
