Appliance Doors, Side Panels; Ventilation Gaps; Door Seals - Miele KDN 12623 S -1 Operating And Installation Instructions

The temperature of the dishwasher
programme must not exceed 55 °C.
Contact with some foodstuffs, such
as carrots, tomatoes or ketchup can
cause plastic items to discolour.
However, this discolouration will not
affect the stability of plastic items.
^ Clean the interior shelves and
drawers by hand. These are not
suitable for cleaning in a dishwasher.
^ Clean the condensate channel and
drain hole frequently, so that
condensate can drain away
unhindered. Use a straw or similar to
clear the drain if necessary.
^ After cleaning, wipe the interior and
accessories with a damp cloth and
dry with a soft cloth.
Leave the doors open to air the
appliance for a short while.

Appliance doors, side panels

Remove any soiling from the
appliance doors and side panels im-
mediately.
If this is not done, it might become
impossible to remove and could
cause the surface to alter or
discolour.
All surfaces are susceptible to
scratching.
Contact with unsuitable cleaning
agents can alter or discolour the
surfaces.
Cleaning and care
^ The surfaces should be cleaned
using a solution of hot water and a
little washing-up liquid applied with a
soft sponge. They can also be
cleaned with a damp microfibre cloth
(without using any cleaning agent).
^ After cleaning, wipe with a damp
cloth and dry with a soft cloth.

Ventilation gaps

^ The ventilation gaps should be
cleaned regularly with a brush or
vacuum cleaner. A build-up of dust
will increase the energy consumption
of the appliance.
Metal grille at the back of the
appliance
The metal grille at the back of the
appliance (heat exchanger) should be
dusted at least once a year. A build-up
of dust will increase the energy
consumption of the appliance.
^ When cleaning the grille, make sure
that the pipework and other
components do not get broken or
damaged in any way.

Door seals

Do not use any oils or grease on the
door seals as these will cause the
seals to deteriorate and become
porous over time.
The door seals should be cleaned
regularly with clean water and then
wiped dry with a soft cloth.
