[. . . ] Important for appliances with stainless steel housing (This infomation does not apply to the controls). Stainless steel surfaces can be cleaned using the Miele E-Cloth, or with a proprietary non-abrasive cleaning agent designed specifically for use on stainless steel. To help prevent re-soiling, a proprietary conditioning agent for stainless steel such as Neoblank (available from the Miele UK Spare Parts Department) can also be used. Follow the manufacturer's instructions, and apply sparingly with an even pressure in the direction of the "grain". Housing General notes The surfaces and controls are susceptible to scratches and abrasions. Please observe the following cleaning instructions. ^ All external surfaces and controls can be cleaned using a Miele E-Cloth, or with warm water and a little washing-up liquid applied with a well wrung-out soft sponge or cloth. ^ Wipe the surfaces dry using a soft cloth. 14 Cleaning and care Important for appliances with lacquered housing (special order finish) It is very difficult to clean this type of surface without causing minor marks to the surface material. This can become particularly noticeable with darker colours and if there is halogen lighting in the kitchen. Controls The controls may suffer discolouration or damage if soiling is left on them for too long. Observe the General notes on cleaning earlier in this section. Do not use stainless steel cleaning agents on the controls. ^ To take out the grease filters, release the locking clip on the filter, lower the filter 45°, unhook it at the back and remove it. To avoid damaging the filters or the hob below, make sure you hold the filters securely at all times when handling them. Cleaning the grease filters by hand ^ Clean the filters with a soft nylon brush in a mild solution of hot water and a little washing-up liquid. Do not use "neat" washing up liquid. Do not use: ­ cleaning agents containing descaling agents, ­ alkaline cleaning agents (with a pH value higher than 7), such as powder cleaners, cream cleaners or abrasive all-purpose cleaning agents, ­ oven sprays. An oversaturated filter is a fire hazard. Grease filters The re-usable metal grease filters in the appliance remove solid particles (grease, dust, etc. ) from the kitchen vapours, preventing soiling of the cooker hood. The grease filters should be cleaned regularly (at least every 3-4 weeks) to avoid a build-up of grease. 15 Cleaning and care Cleaning the grease filters in the dishwasher ^ Place the filters with the short side upright in the lower basket, and wash on a 65° programme using a mild dishwasher detergent, ensuring the spray arm is not obstructed. Avoid alkaline dishwasher detergents (with a pH value higher than 7). Depending on the cleaning agent used, cleaning the filters in a dishwasher can cause permanent discolouration to the surface. However, this will not affect the functioning of the filters in any way. After cleaning, leave the filters to dry on an absorbent surface before replacing them. [. . . ] If the switch is not accessible after installation (depending on country), an 25 additional means of disconnection must be provided for all poles. For extra safety it is advisable to install a residual current device (RCD) with a trip current of 30 mA. Important U. K. , IRL, NZ, ZA: This appliance is supplied for connection to an a. c.
