Cleaning and care
83
Appliance front
The appliance front has a special high-
quality finish (Clean Touch Steel). This is
resistant to soiling and is very easy to
clean.
 Do not use stainless steel
cleaning agent on these surfaces,
as it will damage the finish.
Do not use Miele stainless steel
conditioning agent on these sur-
faces, as it will cause noticeable
smearing.
If soiling is allowed to sit for any
length of time, it may become im-
possible to remove.
Surfaces may be discolored or al-
tered.
It is therefore best to remove soiling
from the appliance front immediately.
All surfaces are easily scratched.
Contact with unsuitable cleaning
agents can alter or discolor the sur-
faces.
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 liquid dish soap. A clean, damp
microfiber cloth without cleaning
agent can also be used for cleaning.
 After cleaning, wipe with clean water
and dry with a soft cloth.
Cleaning the door seal
Do not use any grease or oil on the
door seal as these will cause the seal
to deteriorate and become porous
over time.
 The door seal should be cleaned reg-
ularly with clean water and then
wiped thoroughly dry with a soft
cloth.
Cleaning the ventilation grilles
A build-up of dust will increase the en-
ergy consumption of the appliance.
 The air vents should be cleaned on a
regular basis with a brush or vacuum
cleaner (you could use a Miele vac-
uum cleaner dusting brush, for exam-
ple).
After cleaning
 Replace all shelves and accessories
in the appliance.
 Reconnect to the power supply and
switch the appliance back on.
 Switch on the SuperCool function for
a while so that the refrigerator section
can cool down quickly.
 Switch off the SuperFrost function as
soon as the temperature in the freezer
is a constant 0°F (-18°C) or colder.
 Place food back in the appliance and
close the door.
