Miele F 456 i-3 Freezer User Manual


 
Never use cleaning agents
containing abrasive substances
such as sand, soda, acids or
chemical solvents.
"Non-abrasive" cleaning agents are
also unsuitable as they can cause
matt areas to appear.
Door fronts should be cleaned using
a solution of warm water with mild
detergent applied with a soft cloth or
with a suitable cleaning agent for the
type of door panel fitted.
Make sure that water can not
penetrate into the electronic unit.
Do not use steam cleaning
apparatus to defrost or clean the
appliance. The 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.
^
Clean the appliance immediately
after defrosting it.
Before cleaning
^
Switch the appliance off with the On/
Off dial. Switch off at the wall socket
and remove the plug. Remove the
frozen food from the freezer and
place it in another freezer or cool box
or wrap it in several layers of
newspaper or cloths and store in a
cool place until the freezer is ready
for use again.
^
Take out any removable parts for
cleaning e.g. drawers.
Interior and accessories
Use lukewarm water with a little mild
detergent. All accessories should all be
hand washed. Do not wash in a
dishwasher.
^
After cleaning wipe the interior and
accessories with a damp cloth and
dry with a soft cloth. Leave the door
open to air the appliance for a short
while.
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.
Ventilation gaps
^
The ventilation gaps should be
cleaned on a regular basis with a
brush or vacuum cleaner. A build up
of dust will increase the appliance’s
energy consumption.
Door seal
Do not use any oils or grease on the
door seal as these will cause the
seal to deteriorate and become
porous with time.
