Miele H 4140 - Manual (Page 45)

In the UK, Miele branded cleaning and
conditioning products as well as a
microfibre E-cloth, which is suitable for
cleaning surfaces such as stainless
steel, glass, plastic and chrome without
the use of chemicals, are available from
the Miele Spare Parts Dept. or via the
Internet (depending on country).
Appliance front and control
panel
Clean the
– controls,
– door handle,
– trim inside the door,
– seal between the appliance door and
the cooking compartment
regularly, preferably after each use.
This will help to prevent grease and
other deposits adhering to the surfaces
and becoming difficult to remove and
also in some cases, causing
discolouration.
Grease deposits can also cause the
seal to become brittle and crack.
^ All surfaces and controls should be
cleaned using a Miele E-Cloth or with
warm water and a little washing up
liquid applied with a soft sponge or
cloth.
^ Wipe the surfaces dry using a soft
cloth.
Do not use scouring agents, hard
sponges or brushes or sharp metal
tools to clean glass as these can
scratch the surface.
To prevent the risk of scratches and
damage to the surface structure of
glass, stainless steel and aluminium
fronted appliances, pay particular
attention to the following cleaning
instructions.
Glass fronted appliances
The appliance front and controls are
susceptible to scratches and abrasion.
Avoid:
– abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.
powder cleaners and cream
cleaners,
– abrasive sponges, e.g. pot scourers or
sponges which have been previously
used with abrasive cleaning agents,
– sharp metal tools,
– oven sprays.
Aluminium fronted appliances
Aluminium is affected by the way that
light falls on it, by the surrounding
environment and by the angle you
observe it from.
Aluminium surfaces and controls
may suffer discolouration or damage
if soiling, acids or alkaline
substances are left on them for too
long.
Remove these straight away.
