Cleaning and care
^ Clean the shelves and drawers by
hand as they are not 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.
^ 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.
Cleaning the door and side
panels
Remove any soiling immediately.
If not, it might become impossible to
remove and could cause the surface
to alter or discolour.
The external surfaces of this
appliance are all susceptible to
scratching.
Contact with unsuitable cleaning
agents can also alter or discolour
the outer surfaces.
^ Clean surfaces using a damp
microfibre cloth or with a solution of
warm water and a little washing-up
liquid applied with a soft sponge.
^ After cleaning, wipe the outer
surfaces with a damp cloth and dry
with a soft cloth.
28
The following applies to the stainless
steel door:
The appliance door is treated with a
high quality surface coating. It protects
against soiling and facilitates cleaning
and care.
Do not use the following on the
appliance doors:
– Stainless steel cleaners:
The coating will be damaged.
– Miele Original Care product for
stainless steel:
Visible smearing will form on the
door.

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.
The door seal should be cleaned
regularly with clean water, and then
wiped dry with a soft cloth.
