Never use cleaning agents contain-
ing abrasive substances such as
sand, soda, acids or chemical sol-
vents.
"Non-abrasive" cleaning agents are
also unsuitable as they can cause
matt areas to appear.
For stainless steel surfaces, use a
proprietary stainless steel cleaning
agent.
Make sure that no water can pene-
trate into the electronic unit, into the
light or into the ventilation gaps.
Do not let water get into the drain-
age channel and drain hole when
cleaning.
Never use steam cleaning appara-
tus to defrost or clean the appliance.
The steam could attack the electrical
components and cause a short cir-
cuit.
The data plate located inside the ap-
pliance must not be removed. It con-
tains information which is required in
the event of a service call.
Before cleaning
^
Switch the appliance off by pressing
both On-Off switches.
^
Take any food out of the appliance
and store it in a cool place.
^
Defrost the freezer section.
^
Take out any removable parts e.g.
shelves for cleaning.
Cleaning the outer casing, the
interior and accessories
Use lukewarm water with a little wash-
ing up liquid. Accessories and shelves
should be hand washed only. The but-
ter dish is, however, dishwasher safe.
^
Clean the refrigerator section at least
once a month and the freezer section
each time it is defrosted.
^
Clean the condensate channel and
drain hole frequently, so that conden-
sate can drain away unhindered. Use
a straw or similar to clear the drain if
necessary.
^
Clean stainless steel surfaces with a
suitable cleaning agent.
^
After cleaning, wipe the outer casing,
the interior and accessories with a
damp cloth and dry with a soft cloth.
Leave the doors open to air the appli-
ance for a short while.
E-Cloth
^
A microfibre "E-Cloth" is available
from the Miele UK Spare Parts De-
partment, Part Number 980 13530,
which is suitable for cleaning sur-
faces such as stainless steel, glass,
plastic and chrome without the use of
chemicals.
