Cleaning and care
49
 Clean the condensate channel and
drain opening frequently using a cot-
ton swab or similar item to ensure
that condensate can drain away
freely.
To do this, remove the PerfectFresh
zone drawers.
Be careful not to wash out the spe-
cial lubricant in the telescopic run-
ners during cleaning.
 The PerfectFresh zone drawers are on
telescopic runners. Wipe the tele-
scopic runners with a damp cloth to
clean them.
 Leave the door open to air the appli-
ance for a short while and to prevent
odors developing.
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. As a result, condensate will
build up in the interior cabinet 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.
 Risk of damage as a result of in-
correct cleaning.
If you treat the door seal with oils or
grease, it can become porous.
Do not use any oils or grease on the
door seal.
 The door seal should be cleaned reg-
ularly with clean water and then
wiped thoroughly dry with a cloth.
Cleaning the ventilation gaps
A build-up of dust will increase the en-
ergy consumption of the appliance.
 The ventilation gaps should be
cleaned on a regular basis with a
brush or vacuum cleaner (you could
use a Miele Vacuum Cleaner dusting
brush, for example).
