E-Cloth
^
A microfibre "E-Cloth" is available
from the Miele UK Spare Parts
Department which is suitable for
cleaning surfaces such as stainless
steel, glass, plastic and chrome
without the use of chemicals.
In addition to the cleaning agents
mentioned previously, you should also
avoid
– stainless steel cleaners,
– cleaning agents containing
descaling agents,
– cleaning agents containing chloride,
– abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.
powder cleaners and cream
cleaners.
– abrasive sponges, e.g. pot scourers,
or sponges which have been
previously used with abrasive
cleaning agents.
– dishwasher detergent.
Ventilation gaps
^
The ventilation gaps should be
cleaned regularly with a brush or
vacuum cleaner. A build-up of dust
will increase the energy consumption
of the appliance.
Door seals
Do not use any grease or oil on the
door seals as these will cause the
seals to deteriorate and become
porous over time.
The door seals should be cleaned
regularly with clean water and then
wiped dry with a soft cloth.
Metal grille at the back of the
appliance
The metal grille at the back of the
appliance (heat exchanger) should be
dusted at least once a year. A build-up
of dust will increase the energy
consumption of the appliance.
When cleaning the grille, make sure
that the pipework and other
components do not get broken or
damaged in any way.
After cleaning
^
Replace all shelves and accessories
in the refrigerator section.
^
Place food back in the refrigerator
section, close the appliance doors,
insert the plug in the socket and
switch the refrigerator section and
the freezer section on.
^
Switch on the Super freeze function
so that the freezer section can cool
down quickly. The indicator light will
come on.
^
Once the temperature in the freezer
section has reached the required
temperature, place the food back in
the freezer drawers and slide the
drawers back into the freezer section.
^
Switch off Super freeze by pressing
the Super freeze button when the
temperature in the freezer is a
constant -18 °C or colder.
The indicator light will go out.
