Check the condition of your
dishwasher regularly (approx. every
4 - 6 months). This way faults and
problems can be avoided.
,
The outer surfaces of the
dishwasher are susceptible to
scratching.
Contact with unsuitable cleaning
agents can alter or discolour the
outer surfaces.
Cleaning the wash cabinet
The wash cabinet is largely
self-cleaning, provided that the correct
amount of detergent is always used.
If, however, there are limescale or
grease deposits in the cabinet, these
can be removed with the Original Miele
dishwasher conditioning agent.
Cleaning the door and the door
seal
^
Wipe the door seals regularly with a
damp cloth to remove food deposits.
^
When the dishwasher is being
loaded, food and drink residues may
drip onto the sides of the dishwasher
door.
These surfaces are outside the wash
cabinet and are not accessed by
water from the spray arms. Any
soiling should be wiped off these
surfaces before the door is closed.
Cleaning the door front
,
Remove any soiling immediately.
If not, it might become impossible to
remove and could cause the outer
surface to alter or discolour.
^
Clean the front using a sponge, a
solution of warm water and a little
washing-up liquid. Wipe the surfaces
dry using a soft cloth.
For cleaning, you can also use a
clean, damp microfibre cloth without
any cleaning agent.
To avoid damaging the outer surface,
do not use:
– cleaning agents containing soda,
ammonia, acids or chlorides,
– cleaning agents containing
descaling agents,
– abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.
powder cleaners and cream
cleaners,
–
solvent-based cleaning agents,
–
stainless steel cleaners,
–
dishwasher cleaner,
–
oven sprays,
–
glass cleaning agents,
–
hard, abrasive sponges and
brushes, e.g. pot scourers,
–
dirt erasers,
–
sharp metal scrapers.
