–it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is withdrawn, or

–the fuse is withdrawn from the fused spur connection unit, or

–the mains fuse is disconnected ,or

–the screw-out fuse is removed (in countries where this is applicable).

A microfibre “E-Cloth” is available from the Miele UK Spare Parts Department, which is suitable for cleaning surfaces such as stainless steel, glass, plastic and chrome without the use of chemicals. It can be washed 300 times.

General notes

Warning: The surfaces and controls are susceptible to scratches and abrasions. Please observe the following cleaning instructions.

^All external surfaces and controls can be cleaned using warm water with a little washing-up liquid applied with a well wrung-out soft sponge or cloth.

^Wipe the surfaces dry using a soft cloth.

Do not use too much water when cleaning the controls. Water could penetrate into the electronics and cause damage.

Do not use:

–cleaning agents containing soda, acids, chlorides or solvents,

–abrasive cleaning agents, e.g. powder cleaners or cream cleaners and abrasive sponges, as well as pot scourers or sponges which have been used previously with abrasive cleaning agents. These will damage the surface material.

Important for appliances with stainless steel housing

(This infomation does not apply to the controls).

Stainless steel surfaces can be cleaned with a proprietary non-abrasive cleaning agent designed specifically for use on stainless steel.

To help prevent re-soiling, a proprietary conditioning agent for stainless steel (available from the Miele UK Spare Parts Department or via the internet on www.miele-shop.com) can also be used. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions, and apply sparingly with an even pressure in the direction of the "grain".

Controls

The controls may suffer discolouration or damage if soiling is left on them for too long. Remove soiling straight away.

Observe the General notes on cleaning earlier in this section.

Do not use stainless steel cleaning agents on the controls.
