Aluminium fronted appliances
Aluminium is affected by the way that
light falls on it, by the surrounding
environment and by the angle you
observe it from.
Aluminium surfaces and controls
may suffer discolouration or damage
if soiling, acids or alkaline
substances are left on them for too
long.
Remove these straight away.
The appliance front and controls are
susceptible to scratches and abrasion.
Avoid:
– cleaning agents containing soda,
acids or chlorides,
– 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,
– stainless steel cleaning agents,
– cleaning agents containing
descaling agents,
– dishwasher cleaner,
– oven sprays.
Stainless steel fronted
appliances
The appliance front and controls are
susceptible to scratches and abrasion.
Please observe the separate cleaning
instructions for
– stainless steel surfaces,
– stainless steel coloured controls.
Stainless steel surfaces
Stainless steel surfaces can be cleaned
using a Miele E-Cloth or with a
proprietary non-abrasive cleaning
agent designed specifically for use on
stainless steel. N.B. Do not use
stainless steel cleaning agents on the
controls.
Avoid:
– cleaning agents containing soda,
acids or chlorides,
– 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.
To help prevent re-soiling, a proprietary
conditioning agent for stainless steel,
such as Neoblank (available from the
Miele UK Spare Parts Department), can
also be used.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions
on the label, and apply sparingly with
an even pressure following the direction
of the grain.
