Cleaning and care
25
Cleaning the ventilation gaps
The ventilation gaps should be
cleaned on a regular basis with a
brush or vacuum cleaner (you could
use a Miele vacuum cleaner dusting
brush, for example).
A build-up of dust will increase the
energy consumption of the appliance.
Tip:
The ventilation grille in the plinth
can be removed for cleaning.
To do so press the clips in the ventila-
tion gaps upwards and at the same
time pull the grille forwards and off.
Cleaning the door seal
Do not use any grease or oil on the
door seal as these will cause the seal
to deteriorate and become porous
over time.
The door seal should be cleaned reg-
ularly with clean water, and then
wiped dry with a soft cloth.
After cleaning
Replace all shelves and accessories
in the appliance.
Close the appliance door.
Reconnect to the mains and switch
the appliance back on.
Place food back in the appliance and
close the door.
