E-Cloth
^
A microfibre “E-Cloth” is available
from the Miele UK Spare Parts
Department or via the internet at
www.miele-shop.com. This is suitable
for cleaning surfaces such as
stainless steel, glass, plastic and
chrome without the use of chemicals.
Never use cleaning agents
containing abrasive substances
such as sand, soda, acids, chlorides
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 On/Off and temperature control
unit, the light or the ventilation gaps.
Do not let water get into the
drainage channel and drain hole
when cleaning.
Never use steam cleaning
apparatus to defrost or clean the
appliance. 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.
Before cleaning
^
Switch the appliance off by turning
the On/Off and temperature selector
to "0" and withdrawing the plug.
^
Take any food out of the appliance
and store it in a cool place.
^
Defrost the freezer compartment
(depending on model).
^
Take out any removable parts, e.g.
shelves, for cleaning.
Cleaning the outer casing, the
interior and accessories
^
Clean the refrigerator section at least
once a month and the freezer
compartment (depending on model)
each time it is defrosted.
^
Accessories and shelves should all
be hand-washed only.
^
Clean the condensate channel and
drain hole frequently, so that
condensate can drain away
unhindered. Use a straw or similar to
clear the drain if necessary.
^
After cleaning wipe the outer casing,
interior and accessories with a damp
cloth and dry with a soft cloth. Leave
the doors open to air the appliance
for a short while.
Ventilation gaps
^
The ventilation gaps should be
cleaned on a regular basis with a
brush or vacuum cleaner. A build-up
of dust will increase the energy
consumption of the appliance.
