Never use cleaning agents
containing abrasive substances
such as sand, soda, acids, chlorides
or chemical solvents. "Non-abrasive"
cleaning agents are also unsuitable
as they can cause matt areas to
appear.
To help prevent re-soiling, treat
stainless steel surfaces with a
proprietary conditioning agent for
stainless steel (available from the
Miele Spare Parts Department or via
the internet on www.miele.co.uk).
Do not let water get into the
electronic unit or the light.
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.
E-Cloth
^
A microfibre “E-Cloth” is available
from the Miele Spare Parts
Department, which is suitable for
cleaning surfaces such as stainless
steel, glass, plastic and chrome
without the use of chemicals. It can
be washed 300 times.
Before cleaning
^
Switch the appliance off, switch off at
the socket and remove the plug.
^
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.
^
The serving trays and containers in
the door can be removed from their
stainless steel frames for cleaning.
Cleaning the interior and
accessories
Use warm water with a little washing up
liquid. Accessories and shelves should
all be hand-washed only. The butter
dish is, however, dishwasher safe.
^
Clean the refrigerator section at least
once a month and the freezer
compartment each time it is
defrosted. Use warm water with a
little washing up liquid.
^
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.
