Cleaning and care

General notes

Disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply and allow it to cool down to a safe temperature before cleaning. Clean the whole appliance and then dry it thoroughly after each use.

Make sure the appliance is completely dry before closing the door.

Do not use a steam cleaner to clean this appliance. The steam could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit. Pressurised steam could also cause permanent damage to the surface and to components, for which the manufacturer cannot accept liability.

Do not use cleaners containing alkalines, soda, acids or chlorides, oven sprays, dishwasher cleaner or abrasive cleaning agents, hard brushes, scouring pads and cloths or steel wool. You should also avoid using sponges etc. which have previously been used with abrasive cleaning agents, as these would damage the surface.

Do not use commercial cleaning agents. Only use agents designed for domestic use.

Do not use cleaning agents or washing up liquids containing aliphatics as these could cause the seals to swell.

Appliance front

The appliance front should be cleaned using a Miele E-Cloth or a mild solution of hot water with a little washing-up liquid, applied with a damp cloth. Then wipe over with clean water, and finally dry with a soft cloth.

See data plate for type of front.

Glass

For appliances with glass fronts, a proprietary glass cleaning agent may be used.

Stainless steel

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

To help prevent resoiling, a conditioning agent for stainless steel can also be used.

Follow the manufacturer's intructions.

Aluminium / Titanium

These materials are susceptible to scratching and to damage from alkalis and acids. It is therefore essential to clean them with care, as described above. Do not use cleaning agents for stainless steel or descaling agents on these surfaces. Soiling should be wiped off as soon as possible, as leaving it could result in the surface discolouring or altering.

See "Optional accessories" for details of accessories for cleaning and care.
