Miele KWL 4812 S - Manual (Page 19)

Door seal
Do not use any oils or grease on the
door seal as these will cause the
seal to deteriorate and become
porous over time.
The door seal should be cleaned
regularly with clean water and then
wiped dry with a soft cloth.
Metal grille at the back of the
appliance
The 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.
When cleaning the grille, make sure
that the pipework and other
components do not get broken or
damaged in any way.
Active charcoal filter
Replace the active charcoal filter with a
new one once a year. Active charcoal
filters are available from your dealer or
the Miele Spare Parts Dept.
^ Turn the filter 90° clockwise or
anti-clockwise.
^ Remove the filter.
^ Insert a new filter with the handle in
the vertical position.
^ Turn the filter 90° clockwise or
anti-clockwise until it clicks into
position.
After cleaning
^ Replace all shelves in the appliance.
^ Insert the plug in the socket and
switch the appliance back on.
