Cleaning the wash cabinet
Generally, the wash cabinet is self
clea
ning if the correct amount of deter‐
gent is used.
If, however, there are lime scale or
gr
ease 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
ams (< 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.

damp cloth to remove food deposits.

which may have dripped onto the
sides of the dishwasher door before
closing it.
