Appliance Door, Side Panels; Ventilation Gaps; Door Seal; Metal Grille At The Back Of The Appliance - Miele FN 12220 S Operating And Installation Instructions

Appliance door, side panels

Remove any soiling on the
appliance door and side panels im-
mediately.
If this is not done, it might become
impossible to remove and could
cause the surface to alter or
discolour.
All surfaces are susceptible to
scratching. Contact with unsuitable
cleaning agents can alter or
discolour the surfaces.
^ The surfaces should be cleaned
using a solution of hot water and a
little washing-up liquid applied with a
soft sponge. They can also be
cleaned with a damp microfibre cloth
(without using any cleaning agent).
^ After cleaning, wipe with a damp
cloth and dry with a soft cloth.

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.
Cleaning and care
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 grille, make sure
that the pipework and other
components do not get broken or
damaged in any way.
After cleaning
^ 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.
