Cleaning and care

Cleaning the ventilation grille
A build-up of dust will increase the en-
ergy consumption of the appliance.
The ventilation grille should be
cleaned on a regular basis with a
brush or vacuum cleaner (e.g. use the
dusting brush for Miele vacuum
cleaners)
If you want to be reminded automatic-
ally every 12 months, switch the Clean
ventilation grille reminder on ( see "Se-
lecting further settings - Clean ventila-
tion grille
reminder").
Cleaning the door seals
If a door seal is damaged or if it
has come out of the groove, the door
will not close properly and cooling
performance will be reduced.
Condensate will build up in the in-
terior and this can cause a build-up
of ice.
Do not damage door seals and en-
sure that they do not come out of
their groove.
Do not use any grease or oil on door
seals as these will cause them to de-
teriorate and become porous over
time.
Door seals should be cleaned regu-
larly with clean water, and then wiped
dry with a soft cloth.
