Miele DG 2351 - Manual (Page 46)

General notes
Clean the whole appliance and then dry
it thoroughly after each use. Allow the
appliance to cool down to a safe
temperature before cleaning.
Make sure the appliance is completely
dry before closing the door.
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean
this appliance. The steam could
reach electrical components and
cause a short circuit. Pressurised
steam could also cause permanent
damage to the surface and to
components, for which the
manufacturer cannot accept liability.
Never use cleaners containing
alkalines, soda, acids or chlorides,
oven sprays, dishwasher detergents
or abrasive cleaning agents, hard
brushes, scouring pads and cloths
or steel wool. You should also avoid
using sponges etc. which have
previously been used with abrasive
cleaning agents, as these will
damage the surface.
Do not use commercial cleaning
agents. Only use washing up liquids
designed for domestic use.
Do not use cleaning agents or
washing up liquids containing
aliphatics as these could cause the
seals to swell.
E-cloth
A microfibre "E-Cloth" is available from
the Miele UK Spare Parts Department,
which is suitable for cleaning surfaces
such as stainless steel, glass, plastic
and chrome without the use of
chemicals.
The appliance front and
housing
The appliance front, controls and also
the housing (not on built-in appliances)
should be cleaned using a mild solution
of hot water with a little washing up
liquid, applied with a damp cloth. Wipe
dry using a soft cloth.
On appliances with aluminium fronts
(see data plate) and/or metal coloured
lacquered controls please note that the
aluminium parts and the controls are
susceptible to damage from scratches
and abrasion as well as from alkaline
and acidic substances. It is therefore
essential to clean these with care, as
described above. Do not use cleaning
agents for stainless steel or descaling
agents on these surfaces. Soiling
should be wiped off as soon as
possible. If the soiling is left for a long
time it can have a damaging effect on
the surface.
Appliances with glass fronts:
A proprietary glass cleaning agent may
be used.
Appliances with stainless steel fronts
and/or stainless steel housing:
We recommend using a non-abrasive
proprietary cleaning and conditioning
agent for stainless steel surfaces.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions
on the label, and apply with an even
pressure following the direction of the
"grain".
