Cleaning and care

34

Cleaning the ventilation gaps

A build-up of dust will increase the en-
ergy consumption of the appliance.



The ventilation gaps should be
cleaned on a regular basis with a
brush or vacuum cleaner (e.g. use the
dusting brush for Miele vacuum
cleaners)

Clean the compressor and
metal grille at the back of the
appliance



When cleaning the compressor

and the metal grille, make sure that
cables and other components do not
get ripped off, kinked or damaged in
any way.

The compressor and metal grille at the
back of the appliance (heat exchanger)
should be dusted at least once a year. A
build-up of dust will increase the energy
consumption of the appliance.

After cleaning



Close the appliance door.



Reconnect to the mains and switch
the appliance back on.



Switch on the Super freeze function
so that the appliance can cool down
quickly.



Once the temperature in the freezer is
sufficiently low, place the food back
in the freezer drawers and put them
back in the freezer.



Switch the Super freeze function off.
