A range of Miele branded cleaning
and conditioning products is
available to order from Miele or
www.miele-shop.com.
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 inside the
appliance must not be removed. It
contains information which is
required in the event of a service
call.
The stainless steel door has a
special finish which is resistant to
soiling.
Do not treat
the door with stainless
steel conditioning agent as this will
cause noticeable smearing.
However, do use Miele stainless
steel conditioning agent to treat the
other stainless steel surfaces of the
appliance (available from Miele or
www.miele-shop.com).
Unlike stainless steel cleaning
agents, the conditioning agent does
not contain any abrasive substances
and will gently remove soiling. Each
time it is used, it forms a water and
dirt repellent protective coating.
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.
