Cleaning and care
36
Cleaning the door seal
 If the door seal is damaged or
has come out of the groove, the door
will not close properly and this will
affect cooling.
Condensation will form in the inside
and this can cause a build-up of ice.
Do not damage the door seal, and
make sure that it does not come out
of its groove.
Do not use any grease or oil on the
door seal as this will cause the seal
to deteriorate and become porous
over time.
 The door seal should be cleaned reg-
ularly with clean water and then
wiped thoroughly dry with a cloth.
Cleaning the ventilation grilles
A build-up of dust will increase the en-
ergy consumption of the appliance.
 The air vents should be cleaned on a
regular basis with a brush or vacuum
cleaner (you could use a Miele vac-
uum cleaner dusting brush, for exam-
ple).
Cleaning the compressor at
the back of the appliance
 When cleaning the compressor,
be careful not to tear off, kink, or oth-
erwise damage any wiring or other
parts.
Dust the compressor at the back of the
appliance at least once a year. A build-
up of dust will increase the energy con-
sumption of the appliance.
Starting up the appliance after
cleaning
 Replace all shelves and accessories
in the appliance.
 Reconnect to the power supply and
switch the appliance back on.
 Switch on the automatic SuperCool
function for a while so that the refrig-
erator section can cool down quickly.
 Put the food back in the appliance
and close the door.
