Never use cleaning agents
containing abrasive substances
such as sand, soda (sodium
carbonate), acids or chemical
solvents.
"Non-abrasive" cleaning agents are
also unsuitable as they can cause
matte areas to appear.
Stainless steel surfaces can be
treated using a proprietary
conditioning agent for stainless steel
(available from the Miele Spare Parts
Department). Follow the
manufacturer’s instructions (on the
packaging).
Do not let water enter the electronic
unit, the glass-edge lighting, the
door display or the ventilation slits.
When cleaning, do not let water
enter the drainage channel or drain
hole.
Do not use steam-cleaning
equipment to clean this 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 that will be
required in the event of a Service
call.
Before cleaning
^
Switch the appliance off by pressing
both On/Off switches, then unplug it.
^
Take any food out of the appliance
and store it in a cool place.
^
Take out any removable parts, e.g.,
shelves, for cleaning.
Cleaning the housing, interior
and accessories
Use warm water with a bit of
dishwashing liquid. Wash all
accessories by hand only. Do not wash
in a dishwasher. However, the butter
dish and the transparent trim at the
front of the glass shelves are
dishwasher safe.
^ Clean the appliance at least once a
month.
^ To make it easier to clean the
refrigerator shelves, you can remove
the trim from the front, and the
glass-edge lighting from the back.
^
Clean the condensate channel and
drain hole in the refrigerator section
frequently so that condensate can
drain away unhindered. Use a straw
or similar item to clear the drain as
needed.
^
Clean stainless steel surfaces with a
suitable cleaning agent, according to
the manufacturer’s instructions on the
packaging. Do NOT use stainless
steel cleaner on the door display.
