General notes
Disconnect the appliance from the
electricity supply and allow it to cool
down to a safe temperature before
cleaning. Clean the whole appliance
and then dry it thoroughly after each
use.
Make sure the appliance is completely
dry before closing the door.
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean
this appliance. The steam could
reach electrical components and
cause a short circuit. Pressurised
steam could also cause permanent
damage to the surface and to
components, for which the
manufacturer cannot accept liability.
Do not use cleaners containing
alkalines, soda, acids or chlorides,
oven sprays, dishwasher cleaner or
abrasive cleaning agents, hard
brushes, scouring pads and cloths
or steel wool. You should also avoid
using sponges etc. which have
previously been used with abrasive
cleaning agents, as these would
damage the surface.
Do not use commercial cleaning
agents. Only use agents designed
for domestic use.
Do not use cleaning agents or
washing up liquids containing
aliphatics as these could cause the
seals to swell.
Appliance front
The appliance front should be cleaned
using a Miele E-Cloth or a mild solution
of hot water with a little washing-up
liquid, applied with a damp cloth. Then
wipe over with clean water, and finally
dry with a soft cloth.
See data plate for type of front.
Glass
For appliances with glass fronts, a
proprietary glass cleaning agent may
be used.
Stainless steel
Stainless steel surfaces can be cleaned
using a Miele E-Cloth or with a
proprietary non-abrasive cleaning
agent designed specifically for use on
stainless steel.
To help prevent resoiling, a conditioning
agent for stainless steel can also be
used.
Follow the manufacturer's intructions.
Aluminium / Titanium
These materials are susceptible to
scratching and to damage from alkalis
and acids. It is therefore essential to
clean them with care, as described
above. Do not use cleaning agents for
stainless steel or descaling agents on
these surfaces. Soiling should be wiped
off as soon as possible, as leaving it
could result in the surface discolouring
or altering.
See "Optional accessories" for details
of accessories for cleaning and care.
