Cleaning and care
63
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.
It is therefore best to remove any
soiling immediately.
 Clean the front with a soft sponge
and a solution of warm water and a
little washing-up liquid. After
cleaning, wipe the front dry using a
soft cloth.
A clean, damp microfibre cloth (such
as the Original Miele all purpose
microfibre cloth) without detergent
can also be used.
To avoid damaging the external
surfaces, do not use the following:
- cleaning agents containing soda,
ammonia, acids or chlorides
- cleaning agents containing descaling
agents
- abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.
powder cleaners and cream cleaners
- solvent-based cleaning agents
- stainless steel cleaning agents
- dishwasher cleaners
- oven cleaners or sprays
- glass cleaning agents
- hard, abrasive brushes or sponges,
e.g. pot scourers, brushes, or
sponges which have been previously
used with abrasive cleaning agents
- dirt eraser sponges
- sharp metal scrapers
- steel wool or metal scourers
- steam cleaners
