Never use cleaning agents
containing abrasive substances
such as sand, soda, acids, chlorides
or chemical solvents.
"Non-abrasive" cleaning agents are
also unsuitable as they can cause
matt areas to appear.
Make sure that water cannot get into
the temperature selector or into the
light.
Do not let water get into the
drainage channel and drain hole
when cleaning.
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 inside the
appliance must not be removed. It
contains information which is
required in the event of a service
call.
E-Cloth
A microfibre "E-Cloth" is available from
the Miele Spare Parts Department,
which is suitable for cleaning surfaces
such as stainless steel, glass, plastic
and chrome without the use of
chemicals.
Before cleaning
^
Switch the appliance off by turning
the temperature selector to "0",
switching off at the wall socket and
removing the plug.
^
Take any food out of the appliance
and store it in a cool place.
^
Defrost the freezer compartment
(depending on model).
^
Take out any removable parts, e.g.
shelves, for cleaning.
Cleaning the interior and
accessories
Use warm water with a little washing up
liquid. Accessories and shelves should
all be hand-washed only.
^ Clean the refrigerator section at least
once a month and the freezer
compartment (depending on model)
each time it is defrosted.
^
Clean the condensate channel and
drain hole frequently, so that
condensate can drain away
unhindered. Use a straw or similar to
clear the drain if necessary.
^
After cleaning, wipe 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.
