Cleaning the wash cabinet
The wash cabinet is largely self-clean-
ing, provided that the correct amount of
detergent is always used.
If, however, there are limescale or
grease deposits in the cabinet these
can be removed with a proprietary
dishwasher cleaner.
Cleaning the door and the door
seal
^
Wipe the door seals regularly with a
damp cloth to remove food deposits.
^
When the dishwasher is being loaded
food and drink residue may drip onto
the sides of the dishwasher door.
These surfaces are outside the wash
cabinet and are not accessed by wa-
ter from the spray arms. Any soiling
should be wiped off these surfaces
before the door is closed.
Cleaning the control panel and
door front panel
Plastic panels:
^
This type of panel should only be
wiped with a damp cloth or suitable
cleaning agent designed for use on
plastic.
,
Do not use abrasive cleaning
agents, glass cleaning agents or
all-purpose cleaners. Because of
their chemical composition they
could cause serious damage to
plastic surfaces.
Stainless steel panels:
^
Clean using a damp cloth and a little
washing-up liquid or with a propri-
etary non-abrasive cleaning agent
designed specifically for use on
stainless steel. To help prevent
re-soiling (finger prints etc.), a propri-
etary conditioning agent for stainless
steel can also be used. Apply spar-
ingly with an even pressure following
the direction of the grain.
Aluminium panels:
Aluminium is affected by the way that
light falls on it, by the surrounding envi-
ronment and by the angle you observe
it from.
Aluminium is susceptible to scratching
and abrasion and must be treated with
due care.
^
Soiling should be removed as soon
as possible using a damp cloth and a
little washing-up liquid.
