Cleaning and care Miele offer a range of branded cleaning and conditioning products. See “Optional accessories”. General notes Disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply and allow it to cool down to a safe temperature before cleaning. Clean the whole appliance and then dry it thoroughly after each use.
If not, it might become impossible to remove and could cause the surface to alter or discolour. Clean the front using a damp Miele microfibre E-cloth or with a clean sponge and a solution of hot water and washing-up liquid. After cleaning dry with a soft cloth.
Cleaning and care Oven interior The oven interior is made from stainless steel which has been treated with a special PerfectClean finish which gives the surface an iridescent appearance. PerfectClean surfaces have very good anti-stick properties and are easy to clean. However, it is very important to clean the surfaces each time the steam combi oven is used.
