Miele GT 5xx2 S Freezer User Manual


 
Make sure that no water can
penetrate into the electronic unit or
into the ventilation gaps.
Do not use steam cleaning
apparatus to clean the appliance.
Steam could reach the electrical
components and cause a short
circuit.
The data plate located on the
outside of the appliance must not be
removed. It contains information
which is required in the event of a
service call.
To avoid damaging the surface of
your appliance, do not use:
cleaning agents containing soda,
ammonia, acids or chlorides,
cleaning agents containing
descaling agents,
abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.
powder cleaners and cream
cleaners,
solvent-based cleaning agents,
stainless steel cleaning agents,
dishwasher cleaner,
oven sprays,
glass cleaning agents,
hard, abrasive sponges and
brushes, e.g. pot scourers,
melamine eraser blocks,
sharp metal scrapers.
^
Clean the appliance immediately
after defrosting it.
^
The appliance must be disconnected
from the mains for cleaning. Take any
food out of the appliance and put it in
a suitable cold place (e.g. cool box
or another freezer) and remove
baskets and accessories.
Cleaning the outer casing, the
interior and accessories
Use lukewarm water with a little
washing-up liquid. Wash all
accessories by hand only. Do not wash
in a dishwasher.
^ After cleaning wipe the outer casing,
interior and accessories with a damp
cloth and dry with a soft cloth. Leave
the lid of the freezer open for a while.
Ventilation gap
^ Dust the ventilation gap regularly with
a brush or vacuum cleaner. A
build-up of dust will increase the
energy consumption of the
appliance.
Freezer lid seal
Do not use any grease or oil on the
seal as these will cause the seal to
deteriorate and become porous over
time.
The seal should be cleaned regularly
with clean water and then wiped dry
with a soft cloth.
