Cleaning and care

Periodic checks
To prolong the service life of the dish-
washer, it should should be serviced
at
least once a year
by Miele Service.
This maintenance will cover the follow-
ing:
– Electrical safety according to national
regulations (VDE 0701/0702 in Ger-
many)
– Door mechanism and door seal
– Any screw connections and connect-
ors in the wash cabinet
– Water inlet and drainage
– Internal and external dispensing sys-
tems
– Spray arms
– Filter combination
– Sump including drain pump and non-
return valve
– All baskets and inserts
The following operational tests will be
carried out as part of the maintenance:
– A programme will be run as a test run
– Seals will be tested for water tight-
ness
– All relevant measuring systems will
be safety tested, including fault dis-
plays
– Safety features
Check the condition of your dish-
washer regularly (approx. every 4 - 6
months). This way faults and prob-
lems can be avoided.
All surfaces are susceptible to
scratching.
Contact with unsuitable cleaning
agents can alter or discolour the ex-
ternal surfaces.
Cleaning the wash cabinet
The wash cabinet is largely self-clean-
ing, provided that the correct amount of
detergent is always used.
If, despite this, limescale or grease de-
posits accumulate in the cabinet, these
can be removed with a proprietary dish-
washer cleaner (available from Miele).
Follow the dosage recommended by
the manufacturer on the packaging.
Clean the filters in the wash cabinet
regularly.
