Tips on appliance care

Follow the tips on appliance care to
make sure your appliance functions
properly at all times.

Action

Benefit

Wipe the door seals,
the front of the dish-
washer and the con-
trol panel regularly us-
ing a damp cloth and
washing-up liquid.

This ensures the parts
of the appliance will
remain clean and hy-
gienic.

If the appliance is not
going to be used for a
while, leave the door
slightly ajar.

This will prevent un-
pleasant odours.

Machine Care 

Deposits, e.g. from remnants of food
and limescale, can cause your appli-
ance to malfunction. To avoid such
faults and reduce odours, we recom-
mend cleaning your appliance at reg-
ular intervals.
Machine Care combined with ma-
chine care products and machine
cleaners is the right programme for
the care of your appliance.
