17.3 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 dishwasher
and the control
panel regularly
using a damp
cloth and wash-
ing-up liquid.
This ensures the
parts of the appli-
ance 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
unpleasant
odours.
17.4 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.
