Cleaning and care
58
Check your dishwasher regularly (ap‐
prox. every 4 - 6 months). This way
faults and problems can be avoided.
The external surfaces of the
dishwash
er are susceptible to
scratching.
Contact with unsuitable cleaning
agents can alt
er 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
ea
se 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
am
mes (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
r
egularly.
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 r
esidues
w
hich may have dripped onto the
sides of dishwasher door before clos‐
ing it.
Cleaning the control panel
The con
trol panel should only be wi‐
ped with a damp cloth.
Cleaning the reflector panel
The reflector panel for the In-operation
indicator li
ght is situated in the cover‐
plate underneath the worktop.
The r
eflector panel should only be wi‐
ped with a damp cloth or a suitable
cleaning agent designed for use on
plastic.
