Cleaning and care

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* or conditioner*.
Follow the instructions on the
packaging.
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.
Wipe off any soilng from these surfaces
before the door is closed as they are
outside the wash cabinet and so not
accessed by water from the spray
arms.

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 using a damp Miele
microfibre E-cloth*, or with a clean
sponge and a solution of hot water
and washing-up liquid. Then dry with
a soft cloth.
To avoid damaging the external
surfaces, do not use:
– cleaning agents containing soda,
ammonia, acids or chlorides,
– cleaning agents containing
descaling agents,
– abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.
powder cleaners and cream
cleaners,
– solvent-based cleaning agents,
– stainless steel cleaning agents,
– dishwasher cleaner,
– oven sprays,
– glass cleaning agents,
– hard, abrasive sponges and
brushes, e.g. pot scourers,
– melamine eraser blocks,
– sharp metal scrapers,
– steam cleaning appliances.
