Cleaning and care
51
Cleaning the door and the door
seal
The door seal and the sides of the
dishwasher door are not accessed and
cleaned by the spray arm jets. As a
result, mould can develop here.
Wipe the door seals regularly with a
damp cloth to remove food deposits.
Wipe off any food or drink residues
which may have dripped onto the
sides of the dishwasher door before
closing it.
Cleaning the control panel
The control panel should
only
be
wiped with a damp cloth.
Cleaning the appliance front
Damage due to soiling.
Soiling that is left too long might
become impossible to remove and
could cause the external surfaces to
alter or discolour.
Remove any soiling immediately.
Clean the front with a clean sponge
and a solution of hot water and dish
soap. After cleaning, wipe the front
dry using a soft cloth.
A clean, damp microfibre cloth
without cleaning agent can also be
used for cleaning.
To avoid damage to the outer
surface, do not use:
- cleaning agents containing soda,
ammonia, acid or chloride
- cleaning agents containing lime scale
remover
- abrasive cleaning agents, such as
scouring powder, scouring liquid, or
pumice stones
- cleaning agents containing solvents
- stainless steel cleaning agents
- dishwasher cleaners
- oven cleaners

- hard, abrasive brushes or sponges,
e.g., pot scourers, brushes, or
sponges which have been previously
used with abrasive cleaning agents
- eraser sponges
- sharp metal scrapers
