Cleaning and care
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.
The stainless steel surfaces should
be cleaned with a proprietary
stainless steel cleaner following the
manufacturer’s instructions on the
packaging.
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 ap-
paratus to defrost or clean the ap-
pliance. The steam could attack the
electrical components and cause a
short circuit.
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 turning
the temperature selector to the "0"
position.
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 sec-
tion 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.
Use a suitable stainless steel cleaner
to clean the stainless steel surfaces:
– Apply the cleaner sparingly to a
dry, fluff free cloth and then rub it
into the surface.
After cleaning, wipe the outer cas-
ing, the interior and accessories with
a damp cloth and dry with a soft
cloth. Leave the doors open to air
the appliance 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.
