[. . . ] A dirty filter is a fire hazard. 16 Cleaning and care External filter To remove the external filter pull the deflector plate out slightly. Clean the filters ­ ­ by hand: with a nylon brush in a mild solution of warm water and dish soap. ­ in a dishwasher: place the filters with the short side upright in the lower basket, checking that the spray arm is not blocked. Holding the external filter at the front tilt it approximately 1" (3 cm) downwards and then pull it towards you to remove it. Internal filter Pull the deflector plate out to its full extension. The internal filter will now be visible. The external grease filter can be folded and cleaned in the dishwasher by twisting the latches as shown. Depending on the detergent used, cleaning the grease filters in a dishwasher may cause permanent discoloration of the filter surface. However, performance of the filter will not be affected. After cleaning, leave the filters to dry on a towel before putting them back in place. While the filters are removed, clean any dirt or grease from the filter casing to prevent fires. Holding it by the handle pull it downwards to remove it. 17 Cleaning and care Return the filters Internal filter: External filter: Insert the filter into the hood so that it hooks into position at the back, then push it upwards at the front and make sure it engages in position on the left and right hand sides. Open the filter out. Make sure that the red plastic guides are at the front and facing upwards. Fit it over the locating pins at the rear and push it in until a resistance is felt. Once the grease filters have been returned, press the grease filter button for approximately 4 seconds to reset the filter timer. Unfold the grease filter and lock the catch. 18 Cleaning and care Inserting / replacing the active charcoal filter When inserting the active charcoal filter for the first time: Set the filter hour counter according to your cooking needs, (see "Operation - Changing the filter timer"). Replace the filter immediately when the active charcoal filter indicator lights, or if it is no longer effective in absorbing kitchen odors. It should, however, be replaced at least every 6 months. For recirculation mode an active charcoal filter must be used in addition to the grease filters. The active charcoal filter is inserted into a slot on the front of the appliance housing. Replacement active charcoal filters can be ordered from the Miele Technical Service Department at 1-800-999-1360. Please quote part number 28 9961 34 Follow the instructions supplied with the active charcoal filter when inserting it. After inserting the new filter, press the active charcoal filter button for approximately 4 seconds to re-set the filter timer. 19 Cleaning and care Changing the light bulb Before changing the light bulbs, disconnect the hood from the power supply by either removing the fuse, unplugging it, or manually "tripping" the circuit breaker. Make sure that power is not restored to the appliance while maintenance or repair work is performed. When in use the halogen bulbs become extremely hot and can cause burns. Do not attempt to change bulbs until they have had enough time to cool. Do not touch the surface of a halogen bulb, fingerprints or body oils deposited on the bulb will decrease the life of the bulb. [. . . ] Exhaust ducting and connections ­ The ducting should be as short and straight as possible, and the number of sharp bends should be minimized. ­ For most efficient air extraction, the diameter of the ductwork should not be less than 6" (150 mm). Use of flat ducts also reduces the air extraction efficiency. ­ Noise levels of the hood will increase if flat ducts or round ducts of less than 6" (150 mm) in diameter are used. [. . . ]
