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.
Stainless steel surfaces can be
treated using a proprietary
conditioning agent for stainless steel
such as Neoblank (available from
the Miele UK Spare Parts
Department). Follow the
manufacturer’s instructions on the
packaging.
Do not let water get into the
electronic unit, the glass-edge
lighting, the door display or the
ventilation gaps.
Do not let water get into the
drainage channel and drain hole
when cleaning.
Do not use steam cleaning
apparatus to 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 pressing
both On/Off switches, switch off at
the socket and remove the plug.
^
Take any food out of the appliance
and store it in a cool place.
^
Take out any removable parts e.g.
shelves for cleaning.
Cleaning the outer casing, the
interior and accessories
Use warm water with a little washing up
liquid. Wash all accessories by hand
only. Do not wash in a dishwasher. The
butter dish and the transparent trim at
the front of the glass shelves are,
however, dishwasher safe.
^
Clean the appliance at least once a
month.
^
To make it easier to clean the
refrigerator shelves, you can remove
the trim from the front and the
glass-edge lighting from the back of
them.
^
Clean the condensate channel and
drain hole in the refrigerator section
frequently so that condensate can
drain away unhindered. Use a straw
or similar to clear the drain if
necessary.
^
Clean stainless steel surfaces with a
suitable cleaning agent following the
manufacturer’s instructions on the
packaging. N.B. Do not use stainless
steel cleaner on the door display.
