Cleaning and care

Cleaning appliance doors and side panels

The appliance doors have a high quality, special finish (CleanSteel) which is resistant to soiling and is very easy to clean.



Do not use stainless steel cleaning agent to clean the surfaces. This will damage them.

Do not use Miele stainless steel conditioning agent on the surfaces.

This will cause noticeable smearing.

If soiling is left on for any length of time, it may become impossible to remove.

Surfaces may suffer discolouration or damage.

Therefore it is best to remove soiling from appliance doors and side panels immediately.

Cleaning the ventilation grille

A build-up of dust will increase the energy consumption of the appliance.

 The ventilation grille should be cleaned on a regular basis with a brush or vacuum cleaner (e.g. use the dusting brush for Miele vacuum cleaners)

If you want to be reminded automatically every 12 months, switch the Clean ventilation grille reminder on ( see "Selecting further settings - Clean ventilation grille  reminder").

Cleaning the door seals



If a door seal is damaged or if it has come out of the groove, the door will not close properly and cooling performance will be reduced.

Condensate will build up in the interior and this can cause a build-up of ice.

Do not damage door seals and ensure that they do not come out of their groove.

All surfaces are susceptible to scratching. Contact with unsuitable cleaning agents can alter or discolour the surfaces.

See "Cleaning agents" at the beginning of this section.

Do not use any grease or oil on door seals as these will cause them to deteriorate and become porous over time.

 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 clean water and dry with a soft cloth.

 Door seals should be cleaned regularly with clean water, and then wiped dry with a soft cloth.
