Cleaning and care
66
Check the condition of your dish-
washer regularly (approx. every 4–6
months). In this way, faults and prob-
lems can be avoided.
Damage due to unsuitable clean-
ing agents.
All surfaces are susceptible to
scratching. Contact with unsuitable
cleaning agents can alter or discol-
our the external surfaces.
Only use cleaning agents formulated
for use on the relevant surfaces.
Cleaning the wash cabinet
The wash cabinet is largely self-clean-
ing, provided that the correct amount of
detergent is always used.
However, if residues such as limescale
or grease have been deposited, use the
Maintenance prog.
programme to clean
the dishwasher (see “Programme over-
view” chapter, “Additional pro-
grammes
” section) with dishwasher
cleaner (see “Optional accessories”
chapter, “Appliance care” section). Fol-
low the instructions on the product
packaging.
Miele cleaning and care products are
available to order from the Miele Cus-
tomer Service Department or from the
Miele online shop.
Clean the filters in the wash cabinet
regularly.
Hygiene cycle
If you mainly use low temperature pro-
grammes, there is a risk of bacteria and
unpleasant odours building up in the
wash cabinet. To prevent this happen-
ing the dishwasher will automatically in-
crease the temperature in the final rinse
of the selected programme after several
programmes using low temperatures
have been run. This is to prevent the
build-up of residues and odours.
This programme results in higher energy
consumption.
You can activate or deactivate this func-
tion (see “Settings” chapter, “Hygiene
cycle” section).
If you switch off the Hygiene cycle, run
the
Intensive 75 °C
programme once
per month to clean the wash cabinet
and prevent odours from developing.
Cleaning the door and the door
seal
The door seal and the sides of the dish-
washer door cannot be reached and
cleaned by the spray arm jets. As a res-
ult, mould can develop here.
Wipe the door seals regularly with a
damp cloth to remove food deposits.
Wipe off any food or drink residues
that may have dripped onto the sides
of dishwasher door.
