Maintenance and care

A regular inspection and maintenance of your machine
will help to prevent faults. This saves time and prevents
problems.

Overall condition of the machine

Check spray arm for grease and limescale deposits.

If you find such deposits:

Fill detergent dispenser with detergent. Start the
appliance without utensils in the programme with the
highest rinsing temperature.

Clean the appliance with detergents/ appliance
cleaners which are particularly suitable for use with
dishwashers.

Regularly clean door seal with a damp cloth.

Never use a steam cleaner to clean your dishwasher.
The manufacturer is not liable for any consequential
damage.
Regularly wipe the front of the appliance and fascia
with a damp cloth; water and a little washing up liquid
are adequate. Do not use sponges with a rough
surface or abrasive detergents, as these could scratch
the surfaces.

using sponge cloths or wash them out thoroughly
several times before using for the first time.
