Leave the door open to air the appli-
ance for a short while and to prevent
odours building up.
Cleaning the front of the appli-
ance and the side panels
Appliance front
The appliance front has a high quality,
special finish (CleanSteel). It is resistant
to soiling and is very easy to clean.
Do not use stainless steel
cleaning agent on this surface. This
would damage the coating.
Do not use stainless steel condi-
tioning agent on this surface. It will
cause noticeable smearing.
If soiling is left on for any length of
time, it may become impossible to
remove.
Surfaces may suffer discolouration or
damage.
Therefore it is best to remove soiling
from the appliance front and side
panels immediately.
All surfaces are susceptible to
scratching. Contact with unsuitable
cleaning agents can alter or discol-
our the surfaces.
See the information on "Cleaning
agents" at the beginning of this sec-
tion.
Clean the surfaces with a clean
sponge and a solution of warm water
and washing-up liquid. A clean, damp
microfibre cloth without cleaning
agent can also be used.
Cleaning and care
After cleaning, wipe with clean water
and dry with a soft cloth.
Cleaning the ventilation grille
A build-up of dust will increase the en-
ergy consumption of the appliance.
The ventilation grille should be
cleaned on a regular basis with a
brush or vacuum cleaner (e.g. use the
dusting brush for Miele vacuum
cleaners).
If you want to be reminded automatic-
ally every 12 months, switch the Clean
ventilation grille reminder on ( see "Se-
lecting further settings - Clean ventila-
tion grille reminder").
Cleaning the door seals
If a door seal is damaged or if it
has come out of the groove, the door
will not close properly and cooling
performance will be reduced.
Condensate will build up in the in-
terior and this can cause a build-up
of ice.
Do not damage door seals and en-
sure that they do not come out of
their groove.
Do not use any grease or oil on door
seals as these will cause them to de-
teriorate and become porous over
time.
Door seals should be cleaned regu-
larly with clean water, and then wiped
dry with a soft cloth.
