^
Make sure
you treat the side panels
with Miele stainless steel conditioning
agent each time you clean them.
This will protect the surface and help
prevent re-soiling.
Ventilation gaps
^
The ventilation gaps should be
cleaned regularly with a brush or
vacuum cleaner. A build-up of dust
will increase the energy consumption
of the appliance.
Door seal
Do not use any oils or grease on the
door seal as these will cause the
seal to deteriorate and become
porous over time.
^
The door seal should be cleaned
regularly with clean water and then
wiped dry with a soft cloth.
Metal grille at the back of the
appliance
The metal grille at the back of the
appliance (heat exchanger) should be
dusted at least once a year. A build-up
of dust will increase the energy
consumption of the appliance.
When cleaning the metal grille,
make sure that the pipework and
other components do not get broken
or damaged in any way.
After cleaning
^
Replace all shelves and accessories
in the appliance.
^
Close the appliance door.
^
Insert the plug in the socket and
switch on at the mains. Then switch
the appliance back on.
^
Switch on the Super freeze function
so that the appliance can cool down
quickly.
^
Once the temperature in the freezer
has reached the required
temperature, place the food back in
the freezer drawers and put them
back in the freezer.
^
Switch off the Super freeze function
as soon as the temperature in the
freezer is a constant -18 °C or colder.
