Cleaning and care

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.
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 be-
come impossible to remove and
could cause the external surfaces to
alter or discolour.
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 washing-up liquid. After
cleaning, wipe the surfaces dry using
a soft cloth.
A clean, damp microfibre cloth
without detergent can also be used.
To avoid damaging the external sur-
faces, do not use the following:
– Detergents containing soda, ammo-
nia, acids or chlorides
– Detergents containing descaling
agents
– Abrasive detergents, e.g. scouring
powder, scouring liquid, or pumice
stones
– Detergents containing solvents
– Stainless steel cleaning agents
– Dishwasher cleaner
– Oven cleaner
– Glass cleaning agents
– Hard, abrasive brushes or sponges,
e.g. pot scourers, brushes or
sponges that have been previously
used with abrasive cleaning agents
– Eraser stain remover blocks
– Sharp metal scrapers
– Wire wool
– Steam cleaners
