Cleaning and care

A range of Miele branded cleaning and
condtiioning products is available from
the Miele Spare Parts Department or via
the internet at www.miele-shop.com.
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.
Do not let water get into the
electronic unit or into the ventilation
gap.
Do not use steam cleaning
apparatus to clean the appliance.
Steam could reach the electrical
components and cause a short
circuit.
The data plate must not be
removed. It contains information
which is required in the event of a
service call.
^ The appliance must be switched off
at the wall socket and the plug
removed. Take any food out of the
appliance and store it in a suitable
cool place (e.g. cool box or another
freezer). Take out the accessories for
cleaning.
^ Clean the appliance immediately
after defrosting it.

Cleaning the outer casing, the
interior and accessories
Use warm 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.
