Never use cleaning agents
containing abrasive substances
such as sand, soda, acids or
chemical solvents.
"Non-abrasive" cleaning agents are
also unsuitable as they can cause
matt areas to appear.
Make sure that water cannot get into
the electronic unit or into the
ventilation gaps.
Never use steam cleaning
apparatus to clean the appliance.
Pressurised steam could reach the
electrical components and cause a
short circuit.
The data plate located inside the
appliance must not be removed. It
contains information which is
required in the event of a service
call.
^
Clean the appliance immediately
after defrosting it.
^
Switch the appliance off, take any
food out of the appliance and store it
in a suitable cool place (e.g. cool-box
or another freezer). Remove all the
freezer drawers from the appliance.
Cleaning the outer casing, the
interior and accessories
Use warm water with a little washing up
liquid. Accessories and drawers should
be hand washed only. Do not wash in a
dishwasher.
^
After cleaning, wipe the outer casing,
the interior and accessories with a
damp cloth and dry with a soft cloth.
Leave the door open to air the
appliance for a short while.
E-Cloth
^
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. It can
be washed 300 times.
Ventilation gaps
^
The ventilation gaps should be
cleaned regularly with a brush or
vacuum cleaner. A build-up of dust
will increase the energy consumption
of the appliance.
Door seal
Do not use any grease or oil on the
door seal. These will cause the seal
to deteriorate and become porous
over time.
The door seal should be cleaned
regularly with clean water and then
wiped dry with a soft cloth.
