Cleaning and care
58
Check your dishwasher regularly (ap‐
prox. every 4 - 6 months). This way
faults and problems can be avoided.
The e
xternal surfaces of the
dishwasher are susceptible to
scratching.
Contact with unsuitable cleaning
ag
ents can alter or discolour the ex‐
ternal surfaces.
Cleaning the wash cabinet
The wash cabinet is largely self-clean‐
in
g, 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 special dish‐
washer cleaner (see "Optional accesso‐
ries"). Follow the instructions on the
packaging.
If you mainly use low temperature pro‐
gr
ammes (below 50 °C), there is a risk
of bacteria and unpleasant odours
building up in the wash cabinet. To pre‐
vent this happening the dishwasher will
automatically increase the temperature
in the final rinse of the selected pro‐
gramme after several programmes us‐
ing low temperatures have been run.
Cle
an the filters in the wash cabinet
regularly.
Cleaning the door and the door
seal
Mould could build up on the door seal
and the sides of the dishwasher door
as these sur
faces are outside the wash
cabinet and so not accessed and
cleaned by the spray arm jets.
W
ipe the door seal regularly with a
damp cloth to remove food deposits.
W
ipe off any food or drink residues
which may have dripped onto the
sides of dishwasher door before clos‐
ing it.
Cleaning the control panel
The
control panel should only be wi‐
ped with a damp cloth.
Cleaning the reflector panel
The reflector panel for the In-operation
indicat
or light is situated in the cover‐
plate underneath the worktop.
The
reflector panel should only be wi‐
ped with a damp cloth or a suitable
cleaning agent designed for use on
plastic.
