Cleaning and care
40
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
regularly with clean water, and then
wiped dry with a soft cloth.
Cleaning the ventilation gaps
A build-up of dust will increase the
energy consumption of the appliance.
The ventilation gaps should be
cleaned on a regular basis with a
brush or vacuum cleaner (e.g. use the
dusting brush for Miele vacuum
cleaners)
After cleaning
Replace all shelves and accessories
in the appliance.
Reconnect to the mains and switch
the appliance back on.
Switch on the Super cool function for
a while so that the appliance can cool
down quickly.
Place food back in the appliance and
close the door.
When the temperature in the freezer
compartment is low enough, place
food back in the freezer compartment
and close the door.
Replacing the charcoal filters
Charcoal filters with a KKF-FF (Active
AirClean) holder are available as
optional accessories (see
"Accessories - Optional accessories").
Replace the charcoal filters in the
holder every 6 months.
Replacement KKF-RF charcoal filters
can be obtained from your Miele
dealer, Miele or via the internet at
www.miele-shop.com.
The charcoal filter holder is dishwasher-
proof.
Pull the charcoal filter holder upwards
to remove it from the shelf.
When in position the charcoal filters
must not touch the back wall of the
appliance as the moisture could
cause them to stick to the back wall.
Insert the new charcoal filters into
the holder so that they do not
protrude over the edge of the holder.
