Cleaning and maintenance
A regular inspection and maintenance of your machine
will help to prevent faults. This saves time and prevents
problems.
Overall status of the dishwasher
*The interior of your dishwasher is predominantly self-
cleaning. In order to remove deposits, your dishwasher
automatically changes the running of the programme
(such as by increasing the cleaning temperature) at
certain intervals. This will lead to higher consumption
values when running this programme.
*Depending on the features of your dishwasher
If you should find deposits in the interior of the
dishwasher in spite of this, remove these deposits as
follows:
1.
Fill the detergent dispenser
9:
with detergent.
2.
Select the programme with the highest temperature.
3.
Start the programme without dishes.
:
Warning – Health hazard due to detergents
containing chlorine!
Always use chlorine-free detergents.
Notes
▯
Only clean the appliance with special detergents/
appliance cleaners which are suitable for use with
dishwashers.
▯
Regularly wipe the door seals using a damp cloth
and a little washing-up liquid. This will keep the door
seal clean and hygienic.
▯
Leave the door open slightly if the appliance will not
be used for a while. This will prevent an unpleasant
odour from developing.
▯
Never clean the dishwasher using a steam cleaner.
The manufacturer is not liable for any consequential
damage.
▯
Wipe the front of the dishwasher and the control
panel regularly using a damp cloth and a little
washing-up liquid.
▯
Do not use sponges with a rough surface or abrasive
detergents. These could scratch the surface.
▯
For dishwashers with a stainless steel front, avoid
using sponge cloths, or rinse these thoroughly
several times before using them for the first time.
This will prevent corrosion.
Machine Care

Machine Care
Machine Care used in combination with commercially
available machine cleaning detergent is a suitable
programme for cleaning your dishwasher. Deposits such
as grease and limescale can cause your dishwasher to
malfunction. In order to avoid such faults and to reduce
the development of odours, we recommend cleaning the
dishwasher at regular intervals.
* As soon as the Machine Care display lights up in the
control panel, or you are advised to do so on the front
display, run the Machine cleaning programme Machine
Care
without
loading any tableware. After you have run
the Machine Care the display in the control panel will go
out.
If your dishwasher does not have a reminder function,
follow the instructions for use on the machine cleaning
detergents.
Notes
▯
Remove any coarse soiling in the interior using a
damp cloth.
▯
Run the programme without dishes, and in
combination with a machine cleaning detergent.
▯
Use a special machine cleaning detergent, and not
dishwasher detergent.
▯
Observe the safety instructions and the instructions
for use on the machine cleaning detergent
packaging.
▯
*After three rinse cycles, the display in the control
panel will go out automatically, even if you have not
run the Machine cleaning cycle programme.
