Miele DA 249-4 - Manual (Page 20)

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,
aggessive 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 hot temperature program, e.g.
"Heavy Soil" or "Pots and pans".
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.
^ 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.
^ 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
^ 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
^ 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.
