Cleaning and care
45
Check and clean your dishwasher
regularly. This will help avoid prob‐
lems and faults.
All surfaces are susceptible to
scratching.
Contact with unsuitable cleaning
agents can alter or discolor all surfa‐
ces.
Cleaning the wash cabinet
Generally, the wash cabinet is self
cleaning if the correct amount of deter‐
gent is used.
If, however, there are lime scale 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‐
grams (< 120°F/50 °C), there is a risk of
bacteria and unpleasant odors building
up in the wash cabinet. To prevent this
happening the dishwasher will automat‐
ically increase the temperature in the fi‐
nal rinse of the selected program after
several programs using low tempera‐
tures have been run.
Clean the filters in the wash cabinet
regularly.
Cleaning the door and the door
seal
Bacteria could build up on the door
seal and the sides of the dishwasher
door as these surfaces are outside the
wash cabinet and are not accessed and
cleaned by the spray arm jets.
Wipe the door seals regularly with a
damp cloth to remove food deposits.
Wipe off any food or drink residues
which may have dripped onto the
sides of the dishwasher door before
closing it.
