Cleaning and care

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 (e.g. use the
dusting brush for Miele vacuum
cleaners)
Cleaning the compressor and
metal grille at the back of the


When cleaning the compressor
and the grille, make sure that the
pipework and other components do
not get broken or damaged in any
way.
The compressor and metal grille at the
back of the appliance (heat exchanger)
should be dusted at least once a year. A
build-up of dust will increase the energy
consumption of the appliance.
