A range of Miele branded cleaning
and conditioning products is
available to order from Miele (see
back cover for contact details).
Make sure that no water can
penetrate into the electronic unit or
into the light.

Do not let water get into the
condensate channel and drain hole
when cleaning.

Do not use steam cleaning
apparatus to clean the appliance.
Steam could reach 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.

The stainless steel door has a
special finish which is resistant to
soiling.

Do not treat

the door with stainless

steel conditioning agent as this will
cause noticeable smearing.

However, do use Miele stainless
steel conditioning agent to treat the
other stainless steel surfaces of the
appliance (available from Miele).
Unlike stainless steel cleaning
agents, the conditioning agent does
not contain any abrasive substances
and will gently remove soiling. Each
time it is used, it forms a water and
dirt repellent protective coating.

To avoid damaging the surface of
your appliance, do not use:

– cleaning agents containing soda,

ammonia, acids or chlorides,

– cleaning agents containing

descaling agents,

– abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.

powder cleaners and cream
cleaners,

– solvent-based cleaning agents,

– stainless steel cleaning agents,

– dishwasher cleaner,

– oven sprays,

– glass cleaning agents,

– hard, abrasive sponges and

brushes, e.g. pot scourers,

– melamine eraser blocks,

– sharp metal scrapers.

Before cleaning

^

Switch off the appliance.

^

Disconnect it from the mains.

^

Take any food out of the appliance
and store it in a cool place.

^

Take out any removable parts for
cleaning.
