Cleaning and care
Never use cleaning agents contain-
ing abrasive substances such as
sand, soda, acids or chemical sol-
vents.
“Non-abrasive” cleaning agents are
also unsuitable as they can cause
matt areas to appear.
Make sure that no water can pene-
trate into the electronic unit or into
the ventilation gaps.
Never use steam cleaning ap-
paratus to defrost or clean the ap-
pliance. The steam could attack the
electrical components and cause a
short circuit.
The data plate located on the out-
side the appliance must not be
removed. It contains information
which is required in the event of a
service call.
Clean the appliance immediately
after defrosting it.
Switch the appliance off, take any
food out of the appliance and store it
in a suitable cool place (e.g. cool
box or another freezer).
Cleaning the outer casing, the
interior and accessories
Use lukewarm water with a little wash-
ing up liquid. Accessories and baskets
should be hand washed 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.
E-Cloth
A microfibre "E-Cloth" is available from
the Miele UK Spare Parts Department,
Part number 98013530, which is suit-
able for cleaning surfaces such as
stainless steel, glass, plastic and
chrome without the use of chemicals.
Ventilation grille
The ventilation grille should be
cleaned on a regular basis with a
brush or vacuum cleaner. A build up
of dust will increase the appliance’s
energy consumption.
Freezer lid seal
Do not use any oils or grease 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.
After cleaning
Close the lid and insert the mains
plug in the socket.
Switch on the super freeze function
so that the freezer can cool down
quickly.
The super freeze indicator light will
come on.
