Cleaning and care

In the UK, Miele branded cleaning and conditioning products as well as a microfibre E-cloth, which is suitable for cleaning surfaces such as stainless steel, glass, plastic and chrome without the use of chemicals, are available from the Miele Spare Parts Dept. or via the Internet (depending on country).

Appliance front and control panel

Clean the

–controls,

–door handle,

–trim inside the door,

–seal between the appliance door and the cooking compartment

regularly, preferably after each use.

This will help to prevent grease and other deposits adhering to the surfaces and becoming difficult to remove and also in some cases, causing discolouration.

Grease deposits can also cause the seal to become brittle and crack.

^All surfaces and controls should be cleaned using a Miele E-Cloth or with warm water and a little washing up liquid applied with a soft sponge or cloth.

^Wipe the surfaces dry using a soft cloth.

Do not use scouring agents, hard sponges or brushes or sharp metal tools to clean glass as these can scratch the surface.

To prevent the risk of scratches and damage to the surface structure of glass, stainless steel and aluminium fronted appliances, pay particular attention to the following cleaning instructions.

Glass fronted appliances

The appliance front and controls are susceptible to scratches and abrasion.

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,

–sharp metal tools,

–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 surfaces and controls may suffer discolouration or damage if soiling, acids or alkaline substances are left on them for too long.

Remove these straight away.
