Cleaning and care
70
Check the condition of your dish-
washer regularly (approx. every 4–
6months). This helps to avoid faults
and problems.
Damage due to unsuitable clean-
ing agents.
All surfaces are susceptible to
scratching. Contact with unsuitable
cleaning agents can alter or discolor
all surfaces.
Only use cleaning agents formulated
for use on the relevant surfaces.
Cleaning the wash cabinet
The wash cabinet is largely self-clean-
ing, provided that the correct amount of
detergent is always used.
The frequent use of low-temperature
wash programs (<122°F/50°C) in-
creases the risk of bacteria and odors
inside the wash cabinet. Run the
Pots&Pans program once per month
to clean the wash cabinet and prevent
odors from developing.
However, if residues such as limescale
or grease have been deposited, use the
Clean Machine program to clean the
dishwasher (see “Additional pro-
grams” under “Program overview”)
with dishwasher cleaner (see “Clean
Machine” under “Optional acces-
sories”). Follow the dosage recom-
mended by the manufacturer on the
packaging.
Miele cleaning and care products are
available to order from Miele’s online
store.
Clean the filters in the wash cabinet
regularly.
Hygiene cycle
The frequent use of low-temperature
wash programs increases the risk of
bacteria and odors inside the wash cabi-
net. If you repeatedly use low-tempera-
ture programs, you should regularly run
a high-temperature program. This is to
prevent contamination and odors.
You can activate or deactivate a Hygiene
info message (see “Hygiene cycle” un-
der “Settings”).
If you deactivate this message, run the
Pots&Pans program once per month
to clean the wash cabinet and prevent
odors from developing.
Cleaning the door and the door
seal
The door seal and the sides of the dish-
washer door are not accessed and
cleaned by the spray arm jets. As a re-
sult, mold can develop here.
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.
Cleaning the control field
The control field should only be wiped
with a clean, damp cloth.
Cleaning the appliance front
Damage due to soiling.
Soiling that is left too long might be-
come impossible to remove and
could cause the external surfaces to
alter or discolor.
It is therefore best to remove any
soiling immediately.
