GiWOZH M. -Nr. 25 2 Caring for the environment Disposal of the packing material The transport and protective packing has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal, and can normally be recycled. cling film, polystyrene) and plastic wrappings must be kept out of the reach of babies and young children. Dispose of or recycle all packaging materials safely as soon as possible. Disposal of your old appliance Electrical and electronic appliances often contain materials which, if handled or disposed of incorrectly, could be potentially hazardous to human health and to the environment. [. . . ] If the hood is being operated in recirculation mode, the above restrictions do not apply. Disposal of your old appliance Before discarding an old appliance, switch off and disconnect it from the power supply. Ensure that: ­ it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is withdrawn, or ­ the fuse is withdrawn from the fused spur connection unit, or ­ the mains fuse is withdrawn, or ­ the screw-out fuse is removed (in countries where this is applicable). ^ A microfibre "E-Cloth" is available from the Miele UK Spare Parts Department, which is suitable for cleaning surfaces such as stainless steel, glass, plastic and chrome without the use of chemicals. Avoid: ­ cleaning agents containing soda, acids, chlorides or solvents, ­ abrasive cleaning agents, e. g. powder cleaners or cream cleaners and abrasive sponges, as well as pot scourers or sponges which have been used previously with abrasive cleaning agents. Important for appliances with stainless steel housing (This infomation does not apply to the controls). Stainless steel surfaces can be cleaned using the Miele E-Cloth, or with a proprietary non-abrasive cleaning agent designed specifically for use on stainless steel. To help prevent re-soiling, proprietary conditioning agents for stainless steel can also be used. Apply sparingly with an even pressure in the direction of the "grain". Housing General notes The surfaces and controls are susceptible to scratches and abrasions. ^ All external surfaces and controls can be cleaned using warm water with a little washing-up liquid applied with a well wrung-out soft sponge or cloth. Water could penetrate into the electronics and cause damage. 12 Cleaning and care Important for appliances with lacquered housing (special finish) It is very difficult to clean this type of surface without causing minor marks to the surface material. This can become particularly noticeable with darker colours and if there is halogen lighting in the kitchen. Controls The controls may suffer discolouration or damage if soiling is left on them for too long. ^ To take out the grease filters, release the catch on the filter, lower the filter 45°, unhook it at the back and remove it. To avoid damaging the filter or the hob below, make sure you hold the filter securely at all times when handling it. ^ Clean the filters - by hand: with a soft nylon brush, warm water and a little washing up liquid. - in a dishwasher: place filters with the short side upright in the lower basket, and wash on a 65° programme, ensuring that the spray arm is not obstructed. Depending on the cleaning agent used, cleaning the filters in a dishwasher can cause permanent discolouration to the surface. However, this will not affect the functioning of the filters in any way. Grease filters Re-usable metal filters are fitted which remove solid particles (oil, dust, etc. ) from the kitchen vapours, preventing soiling of the cooker hood. To avoid the build-up of grease, the grease filters should be cleaned every 3-4 weeks. An oversaturated filter is a fire hazard. 13 Cleaning and care ^ After cleaning, leave the filters to dry on an absorbent surface before replacing them. When removing the filters for cleaning, also clean off any residues of oil or fat from the now accessible housing to prevent the risk of these catching fire. [. . . ] Ensure power is not supplied to the appliance until after installation or repair work has been carried out. Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by an extension lead. Connection of this appliance should be made via a suitable isolator or a double pole fused spur connection unit which complies with national and local safety regulations and the On-Off switch should be easily accessible after the appliance has been built in. When switched off there must be an all-pole contact gap of 3 mm in the switch (including switch, fuses and relays according to EN 60 335). [. . . ]
