Cleaning and care

General notes

Clean the whole appliance and then dry
it thoroughly after each use. Allow the
appliance to cool down to a safe
temperature before cleaning.
Make sure the appliance is completely
dry before closing the door.
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean
this appliance. The steam could
reach electrical components and
cause a short circuit. Pressurised
steam could also cause permanent
damage to the surface and to
components, for which the
manufacturer cannot accept liability.
Never use cleaners containing
alkalines, soda, acids or chlorides,
oven sprays, dishwasher detergents
or abrasive cleaning agents, hard
brushes, scouring pads and cloths
or steel wool. You should also avoid
using sponges etc. which have
previously been used with abrasive
cleaning agents, as these would
damage the surface.
Do not use commercial cleaning
agents. Only use washing up liquids
designed for domestic use.
Do not use cleaning agents or
washing up liquids containing
aliphatics as these could cause the
seals to swell.

The appliance front and
housing
The appliance front and controls should
be cleaned using using a Miele E-Cloth
(see "Optional accessories") or a mild
solution of hot water with a little
washing up liquid, applied with a damp
cloth. After cleaning remove all traces
of cleaner from the surface by wiping
carefully with a damp cloth and then
dry with a soft cloth.
For appliances with glass fronts, a
proprietary glass cleaning agent may
be used.
For appliances with stainless steel
fronts, we recommend using a
non-abrasive proprietary cleaning
agent for stainless steel. To help
prevent marks, you could also use a
conditioning agent for stainless steel
(see "Optional accessories").
Follow the manufacturer's instructions
on the label.
On appliances with aluminium fronts
(see data plate) and/or metal coloured
lacquered controls please note that the
aluminium parts and the controls are
susceptible to damage from scratches
and abrasion as well as from alkaline
and acidic substances. It is therefore
essential to clean these with care, as
described above. Do not use cleaning
agents for stainless steel or descaling
agents on these surfaces. Soiling
should be wiped off as soon as
possible. If the soiling is left for a long
time it can have a damaging effect on
the surface.
