Page: 41 / 80

Check your dishwasher regularly
(approx. every 4 - 6 months). This
way faults and problems can be
avoided.
,
The external surfaces of the
dishwasher are susceptible to
scratching.
Contact with unsuitable cleaning
agents can alter or discolour the
external surfaces.
Cleaning the wash cabinet
The wash cabinet is largely
self-cleaning, 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 (available from
Miele).
If you mainly use low temperature
programmes, bacteria and unpleasant
odours can build up in the wash
cabinet. To prevent this, run an
intensive programme using powder
detergent after approx. 20 low
temperature programmes.
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 residues may
drip onto the sides of the dishwasher
door.
These surfaces are outside the wash
cabinet and are not accessed by
water from the spray arms. Any
soiling should be wiped off these
surfaces before the door is closed.
Cleaning the door front
,
Remove any soiling immediately.
If this is not done, it might become
impossible to remove and could
cause the external surfaces to alter
or discolour.
^
Clean the front with a clean sponge
and a solution of hot water and
washing-up liquid. Then dry with a
soft cloth.
A damp microfibre E-cloth without
cleaning agent can also be used.
