Check your dishwasher regularly
(approx. every 4 - 6 months). This
way faults and problems can be
avoided.
*In the UK, Miele branded cleaning
and conditioning products as well as
a microfibre E-cloth which is suitable
for cleaning surfaces such as
stainless steel, glass, plastic and
chrome without the use of chemicals
are available from the Miele Spare
Parts Department or via the internet
on www.miele.co.uk.
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 a proprietary
dishwasher cleaner* or conditioner*.
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 wa
-
ter from the spray arms. Any soiling
should be wiped off these surfaces
before the door is closed.
Cleaning the reflector panel
The reflector panel for the In-operation
indicator light is situated in the
coverplate underneath the worktop.
It can be taken out of its plastic holder
to be cleaned.
^
Open the door and carefully remove
the reflector panel from the holder.
^
The reflector panel and its plastic
holder should only be wiped with a
damp cloth or a suitable cleaning
agent designed for use on plastic.
^ Replace the reflector panel in its
holder.
,
Do not use abrasive cleaning
agents, glass cleaning agents or
all-purpose cleaners. Because of
their chemical composition, they
could cause serious damage to
surfaces.
