Cleaning And Care; Cleaning The Outer Casing, The Interior And Accessories; Ventilation Gaps - Miele FN 12540 S Operating And Installation Instructions

Cleaning and care

A range of Miele cleaning and
conditioning agents is available from
the Miele UK Spare Parts
Department or via the internet at
www.miele-shop.com.
Make sure that water cannot get into
the electronic unit or into the

ventilation gaps.

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.
To avoid damaging the surface of
your appliance, do not use:
– cleaning agents containing soda,
ammonia, acids or chlorides,
– cleaning agents containing
descaling agents,
– abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.
powder cleaners and cream cleaners,
– solvent-based cleaning agents,
– stainless steel cleaning agents,
– dishwasher cleaner,
– oven sprays,
– glass cleaning agents,
– hard, abrasive sponges and
brushes, e.g. pot scourers,
– melamine eraser blocks,
24
– sharp metal scrapers.
Before cleaning
^ Switch the appliance off.
^ Disconnect it from the mains. Switch
off at the wall and withdraw the plug
from the socket, or disconnect the
mains fuse.
^ Take any frozen food out of the
appliance and store it in a cool place.
^ Take the freezer drawers and the
glass cold plates out of the freezer to
clean them.
Cleaning the outer casing, the
interior and accessories
Use warm water with a little washing-up
liquid. Wash all accessories and
drawers by hand only. Do not wash in a
dishwasher.
^ After cleaning, wipe the outer casing,
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.
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.
