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.
Door fronts should be cleaned using
a solution of warm water with mild
detergent applied with a soft cloth or
with a suitable cleaning agent for the
type of door panel fitted.
Make sure that no water can
penetrate into the electronic unit or
into the light.
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. The steam could attack
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 temperature selector to the "0"
position.
^
Take any food out of the appliance
and store it in a cool place.
^
Defrost the freezer compartment.
^
Take out any removable parts e.g.
shelves for cleaning.
Cleaning the interior and
accessories
Use lukewarm water with a little
washing up liquid. Accessories and
shelves should all be hand washed.
The butter dish is, however, dishwasher
safe.
^
Clean the refrigerator at least once a
month and the freezer compartment
every time it is defrosted.
^
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 interior and
accessories with a damp cloth and
dry with a soft cloth. Leave the doors
open to air for a short while.
E-Cloth
^
A microfibre "E-Cloth" is available
from the Miele UK Spare Parts
Department, Part Number 980 13530,
which is suitable for cleaning
surfaces such as stainless steel,
glass, plastic and chrome without the
use of chemicals.
