Cleaning and care

Cleaning the door seal
If the door seal is damaged or has
slipped out of its groove, the appli-
ance door may not close properly
and cooling performance will be re-
duced. As a result, condensate will
build up in the interior cabinet and
this can cause a build-up of ice.
Do not damage the door seal and
ensure it does not slip out of its
groove.
Risk of damage as a result of in-
correct cleaning.
If you treat the door seal with oils or
grease, it can become porous.
Do not use any oils or grease on the
door seal.
The door seal should be cleaned reg-
ularly with clean water and then
wiped dry with a cloth.
Cleaning the ventilation gaps
A build-up of dust will increase the en-
ergy consumption of the appliance.
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).
After cleaning
Replace all shelves and accessories
in the appliance.
Switch the refrigeration appliance on.
Switch on the Super cool function for
a while so that the refrigerator section
can cool down quickly.
Place food in the refrigerator section
and close the door.
Place food in the freezer compart-
ment when it is cold enough and
close the appliance door.
