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.
Stainless steel surfaces should be
cleaned with a proprietary stainless
steel cleaner following the
manufacturer’s instructions on the
packaging.
Make sure that no water can
penetrate into the electronic unit or
into the light.
Do not let water get into the
drainage channel and drain hole
when cleaning.
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.
Before cleaning
^
Switch the appliance off, switch off at
the socket and remove the plug.
^
Take any food out of the appliance
and store it in a cool place.
^
Take out any removable parts e.g.
shelves for cleaning.
^
The stainless steel trim can be pulled
off the front edge of the refrigerator
section shelves for cleaning.
Cleaning the outer casing, the
interior and accessories
^
Clean the refrigerator section and the
StayFresh zone at least once a
month.
^
Accessories and shelves should all
be hand-washed. The butter dish is,
however, dishwasher safe.
^
Clean the condensate channel and
drain hole frequently, so that
condensate can drain away
unhindered. Use a straw or similar to
clear the drain if necessary.
^
Clean stainless steel surfaces with a
suitable cleaning agent following the
manufacturer’s instructions on the
packaging.
^
After cleaning, wipe the interior and
accessories with a damp cloth and
dry with a soft cloth. Leave the door
open to air the appliance for a short
while.
E-Cloth

A microfibre "E-Cloth" is available
from the Miele UK Spare Parts
Department which is suitable for
cleaning surfaces such as stainless
steel, glass, plastic and chrome
without the use of chemicals.
