Cleaning and care
52
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.
Cleaning the control panel
The control panel should
only
be
wiped with a damp cloth.
Cleaning the front of the ma-
chine
Damage due to soiling.
Soiling that is left too long might be-
come impossible to remove and
could cause the external surfaces to
alter or discolor.
It is therefore best to remove any
soiling immediately.
Clean the appliance front with a clean
soft sponge and a solution of warm
water and liquid dish soap. After
cleaning, wipe the surfaces dry using
a soft cloth.
A clean, damp microfiber cloth with-
out detergent can also be used.
To avoid damaging the external sur-
faces, do not use the following:
- cleaning agents containing soda, am-
monia, acids, 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 cleaner
- oven cleaner
- glass cleaner
- 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
- steel wool
- steam cleaners
