Cleaning and care
67
Check the condition of your dish-
washer regularly (approx. every 4–
6 months). This helps to avoid faults
and problems.
Damage due to unsuitable clean-
ing agents.
All surfaces are susceptible to
scratching. Contact with unsuitable
cleaning agents can alter or discolor
all 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.
The frequent use of low-temperature
wash programs increases the risk of
contamination and odors inside the
wash cabinet. Run the
Pots & Pans
pro-
gram once per month to clean the wash
cabinet and prevent odors from devel-
oping.
However, if residues such as limescale
or grease have been deposited, use the
Clean Machine
program to clean the
dishwasher (see “Additional pro-
grams
” under “Program overview”)
with dishwasher cleaner (see “Clean
Machine” under “Optional acces-
sories”). Follow the dosage recom-
mended by the manufacturer on the
packaging.
Miele cleaning and care products are
available to order from Miele Customer
Service or from Miele’s online store.
Clean the filters in the wash cabinet
regularly.
Cleaning the door and the door
seal
The door seal and the sides of the dish-
washer door are not accessed and
cleaned by the spray arm jets. As a re-
sult, mold 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.
