How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off the disposal before adjusting the baffle.
- Check baffle installation: Ensure the Miele splash baffle is correctly seated in the sink flange with the correct side facing up.
- Replace damaged baffle: If the baffle is torn, hardened, or warped, replace it with a Miele-compatible part.
- Adjust water flow: Reduce faucet flow slightly while operating the disposal to minimize splashing.
- Verify flange fit: If the baffle does not sit properly, confirm that the sink opening and flange are compatible with the Miele mounting system.
