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.
Do not 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.
^
Switch the appliance off, switch off at
the wall socket and remove the plug.
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. Wash all accessories by hand
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.
Door handle
Aluminium is affected by the way that
light falls on it, by the surrounding
environment and by the angle you
observe it from.
The aluminium coloured handle may
suffer discolouration or damage if
soiling is left on it for too long.
Remove any soiling straight away.
Warning: The handle is susceptible to
scratches and abrasion.
In addition to the cleaning agents
mentioned previously, you should also
avoid
– stainless steel cleaners,
– cleaning agents containing
descaling agents,
– cleaning agents containing chloride,
– abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.
powder cleaners and cream
cleaners.
– abrasive sponges, e.g. pot scourers
or sponges which have been
previously used with abrasive
cleaning agents.
– diswasher detergent.
