Grease Filters - Miele DA 6700 D Operating And Installation Instructions

Cleaning and care

Grease filters

The re-usable metal grease filters in the
appliance remove solid particles
(grease, dust, etc.) from the kitchen
vapours, preventing soiling of the
rangehood.

An oversaturated filter is a fire
hazard.
When to clean the grease filters
The grease filters should be cleaned
regularly (at least every 3-4 weeks) to
avoid a build-up of grease.
Clean them immediately if the grease
filter operating hours control  lights
up.
 You can set the operating hours
counter for the grease filter to suit the
type of cooking you do (see
"Operation").
Removing a grease filter
The grease filter can fall out when
you are handling it.
This can result in damage to the filter
and the cooktop below.
Make sure you hold the filter
securely at all times when handling
it.

brush in a mild solution of hot water
and a small amount of washing-up
liquid. Do not use undiluted washing
up liquid.
