Miele HG05 Dishwasher User Manual


 
Cleaning and care
62
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
(available from Miele). Follow the
instructions on the packaging.
Using mainly low temperature
programmes (below 50 °C), could
cause bacteria and unpleasant odours
to build up in the wash cabinet. To
avoid this, the dishwasher will increase
the temperature in the final rinse of the
selected programme automatically after
several programmes using low
temperatures have been run.
Clean 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 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 residues
which may have dripped onto the
sides of dishwasher door before
closing it.
Cleaning the control panel
The control panel should only be
wiped with a damp cloth.
Cleaning the reflector panel
The reflector panel for the In-operation
indicator light is situated in the
coverplate underneath the worktop.
The reflector panel should only be
wiped with a damp cloth or a suitable
cleaning agent designed for use on
plastic.
