16.2 Cleaning agent

Only use suitable cleaning agents

to clean your appliance.

16.3 Tips on appliance

care

Follow the tips on appliance care

to make sure your appliance func-

tions properly at all times.

Action

Benefit

Regularly wipe

the door seals,

the front of the

dishwasher and

the control

panel using a

damp cloth and

dishwashing

liquid.

This ensures

the parts of the

appliance will

remain clean

and hygienic.

If the appliance

is not going to

be used for a

while, leave the

door slightly

ajar.

This will pre-

vent unpleas-

ant odors.

16.4 Machine Care

Deposits, e.g. from food remnants 

and limescale, can cause your ap-

pliance to malfunction. To avoid 

these problems and reduce odors, 

we recommend cleaning your ap-

pliance at regular intervals. 

Machine Care combined with ma-

chine cleaning products will pro-

vide the right care for your appli-

ance.
Tip: You can buy our tested and
