Cleaning and care
91
Check the condition of your
dishwasher regularly (approx. every
4–6 months). This way, faults and
problems can be avoided.
Damage caused by unsuitable
cleaning agents.
All surfaces of this appliance are
susceptible to scratching. Contact
with unsuitable cleaning agents can
alter or discolour all surfaces.
Only use cleaning agents formulated
for use on the relevant surfaces.
Cleaning the wash cabinet
The wash cabinet is largely self-
cleaning, provided that the correct
amount of detergent is always used.
The frequent use of low-temperature
wash programmes (< 50 °C) increases
the risk of contamination and odours
inside the wash cabinet. Run the
Intensive 75 °C
programme once a
month to clean the wash cabinet and
prevent odours from developing.
However, if residues such as limescale
or grease have been deposited, use the
Maintenance programme
programme to
clean the dishwasher (see “Programme
chart –
Further programmes”) with
dishwasher cleaner (see “Optional
accessories – Maintenance”). Follow the
instructions on the product packaging.
Miele cleaning and care products are
available to order from Miele Service or
from Miele’s online store.
Clean the filters in the wash cabinet
regularly.
Hygiene cycle
If you mainly use low temperature
programmes, there is a risk of bacteria
and unpleasant odours building up in
the wash cabinet. If you repeatedly use
low temperature programmes, you
should regularly run a high temperature
programme. This is to prevent the build-
up of residues and odours.
You can activate or deactivate a
Hygiene info message (see “Settings –
Hygiene cycle”).
If you deactivate this message, run the
Intensive 75 °C
programme once per
month to clean the wash cabinet and
prevent odours from developing.
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.
