Cleaning and care

In Australia and New Zealand, Miele branded cleaning and conditioning products, as well as a microfibre which is suitable for cleaning surfaces such as stainless steel, glass, plastic and chrome without the use of chemicals, are available to purchase from Miele or the Spare Parts Department.

Disconnect the microwave oven from the power supply before cleaning (e.g. switch off at the socket and remove the plug).

Oven interior and inside of the door

The oven interior can get hot during use. To avoid the danger of being burnt, wait until it has cooled down before cleaning. It should be cleaned after each use. Waiting too long can make cleaning unnecessarily difficult and in some cases impossible.

In certain circumstances, very heavy soiling can even damage the appliance.

The oven interior and door interior can be cleaned using a damp cloth with a little washing-up liquid or a mild detergent and water. Wipe dry with a soft cloth.

For more heavy soiling, heat a glass of water for 2 to 3 minutes until the water begins to boil. The steam will collect on the walls and soften the soiling.

The oven interior can now be wiped clean using a little washing-up liquid if necessary.

Do not remove the cover to the microwave outlet inside the oven, nor the film covering the inside of the door.

Do not let water or any small particles penetrate the vents in the appliance.

Wring out cloths before using them to wipe out the oven to avoid moisture getting into the openings.

Do not use abrasive cleaners, as these scratch the surface.
