Miele DA 398-5 - Manual (Page 14)

Grease filters
The reusable metal grease filters in the
hood remove solid particles from the
vented kitchen air (grease, dust, etc)
and prevent soiling of the ventilation
system.
The grease filters should be cleaned
every 3 - 4 weeks.
,
A dirty filter is a fire hazard.
^ To remove the grease filter pull the
locking clips forward, lower the filter
down 45°, unhook it at the rear, and
take it out.
Support the grease filter so that it
does not fall and damage the
cooktop.
Cleaning the grease filter
^ By hand: use a scrub brush with a
solution of warm water and mild
detergent.
Do not use the 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 filters are removed, clean
any dirt or grease from the filter
casing.
