Miele KFN 14947 SDE ED Ventilation gaps, Door seal, Metal grille at the back of the appliance

Cleaning and care

If you have used a solution of water and washing-up liquid to clean it, discard the ice cubes from the first three ice cube making processes, as they are not suitable for consumption.

Ventilation gaps

^The ventilation gaps should be cleaned regularly with a brush or vacuum cleaner. A build-up of dust will increase the energy consumption of the appliance.

Door seal

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

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

Metal grille at the back of the appliance

The metal grille at the back of the appliance (heat exchanger) should be dusted at least once a year. A build-up of dust will increase the energy consumption of the appliance.

When cleaning the grille, make sure that the pipework and other components do not get broken or damaged in any way.

After cleaning

^Replace all shelves and accessories in the refrigerator section.

^Place food back in the refrigerator section, close the appliance doors, insert the plug in the socket and switch the appliance on.

^Switch on the Super freeze function so that the freezer section can cool down quickly.

^Once the freezer section has reached the required temperature, place the food back in the freezer drawers and shut them.

^Switch off the Super freeze function as soon as the temperature in the freezer is a constant -18 °C or colder.
