Cleaning and care
59
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
a
gents 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, however, there are limescale or
gr
ease deposits in the cabinet, these
can be removed with a proprietary dish‐
washer cleaner or conditioner (available
from Miele). Follow the instructions on
the packaging.
Using mainly low temperature pro‐
gr
ammes (below 50 °C), could cause
bacteria and unpleasant odours to build
up in the wash cabinet. To avoid this,
the dishwasher will increase the tem‐
perature in the final rinse of the selected
programme automatically after several
programmes using low temperatures
have been run,
Cl
ean 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
a
s these surfaces are outside the wash
cabinet and so not accessed and
cleaned by the spray arm jets.
Wipe the door seal
regularly with a
damp cloth to remove food deposits.
Wipe off any food or drink r
esidues
which may have dripped onto the
sides of dishwasher door before clos‐
ing it.
