dishwasher can cause permanent
discolouration to the surface of the
filters. However, this will not affect
the functioning of the grease filters in
any way.

Fitting / replacing the active
charcoal filters
If the cooker hood is connected for
recirculation two active charcoal filters
must be inserted in addition to the
grease filters. These filters absorb nor
-
mal kitchen odours.
They are fitted in the canopy above the
grease filters.
Active charcoal filters can be ob
-
tained from your dealer or the Miele
Spare Parts Department.
Refer to the section "Technical data"
for type and reference number.
The filters are supplied with fitting instruc
-
tions. Ensure these are carefully followed.
Replace the filters when they no longer
absorb kitchen odours effectively.
They should, however, be replaced at
least every 6 months.
