Cleaning And Care; Cleaning The Outer Casing, The Interior And Accessories; Ventilation Gaps - Miele KTN 12720 SD Operating And Installation Manual

Cleaning and care

^ A range of Miele branded cleaning
and conditioning agents including a
microfibre "E-Cloth" is available from
the Miele UK Spare Parts
Department, or via the internet at
www.miele-shop.com.
Never use cleaning agents
containing abrasive substances
such as sand, soda, acids, chlorides
or chemical solvents.
"Non-abrasive" cleaning agents are
also unsuitable as they can cause
matt areas to appear.
Make sure that water cannot get into
the On/Off and temperature selector,
the light or the ventilation gaps.
Do not let water get into the
drainage channel and drain hole
when cleaning.
Do not use steam cleaning
apparatus to defrost or 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 by turning
the On/Off and temperature selector
to "0" and withdrawing the plug.
^ Take any food out of the appliance
and store it in a cool place.
28
^ Take out any removable parts, e.g.
shelves, for cleaning.
Cleaning the outer casing, the
interior and accessories
^ Clean the appliance at least once a
month.
^ Accessories and shelves should all
be hand-washed only.
^ 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.
^ After cleaning wipe the outer casing,
interior and accessories with a damp
cloth and dry with a soft cloth. Leave
the doors open to air the appliance
for a short while.

Ventilation gaps

^ The ventilation gaps 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.
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.
