Cleaning and care

Glass fronted appliances

The surfaces and controls are susceptible to scratches and abrasions.

Avoid:

–abrasive cleaning agents, e.g. powder cleaners and cream cleaners,

–abrasive sponges, e.g. pot scourers or sponges which have been previously used with abrasive cleaning agents,

–oven sprays.

Aluminium fronted appliances

Aluminium is affected by the way that light falls on it, by the surrounding environment and by the angle you observe it from.

Aluminium may suffer discolouration or damage if soiling is left on it for too long.

Remove any soiling straight away.

External surfaces can be susceptible to scratches and abrasions.

Avoid:

–cleaning agents containing soda, acids or chlorides,

–abrasive cleaning agents, e.g. powder cleaners and cream cleaners,

–abrasive sponges, e.g. pot scourers or sponges which have been previously used with abrasive cleaning agents,

–stainless steel cleaners,

–cleaning agents containing descaling agents,

–dishwasher cleaners,

–oven sprays.

Stainless steel fronted appliances

Stainless steel surfaces are susceptible to scratches and abrasions.

Stainless steel surfaces can be cleaned with a proprietary non-abrasive cleaning agent designed specifically for use on stainless steel. N.B. Do not use it on the controls.

Avoid:

–cleaning agents containing soda, acids or chlorides,

–abrasive cleaning agents, e.g. powder cleaners and cream cleaners,

–abrasive sponges, e.g. pot scourers, or sponges which have been previously used with abrasive cleaning agents.

To help prevent re-soiling, a proprietary conditioning agent for stainless steel such as Neoblank (available from the Miele Spare Parts Department) can be used. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the packaging.
