Cleaning and maintenance
A regular inspection and maintenance
of your machine will help to prevent
faults. This saves time and prevents
problems.
Overall condition
of the machine
Check spray arm for grease
and limescale deposits.
If you find such deposits:
Fill detergent dispenser with
detergent. Start the appliance without
utensils in the programme with
the highest rinsing temperature.
Clean the appliance with detergents/
appliance cleaners which
are particularly suitable for use with
dishwashers.
To ensure that the door seal always
remains clean and hygienic, regularly
clean it with a damp cloth and a little
washing-up liquid.
If the appliance is switched off for
a prolonged period, leave the door
ajar to prevent the formation of
an unpleasant odour.
Never use a steam cleaner to clean your
dishwasher. The manufacturer is not
liable for any consequential damage.
Regularly wipe the front of the appliance
and fascia with a damp cloth; water
and a little washing up liquid
are adequate. Do not use sponges with
a rough surface or abrasive detergents,
as these could scratch the surfaces.
Stainless steel appliances: To prevent
corrosion, avoid using sponge cloths
or wash them out thoroughly several
times before using for the first time.
ã Warning – Health hazard
Never use other domestic detergents,
e.g. containing chlorine!
Special salt and rinse aid
Check the refill indicators ` and
h. If required, refill salt and/or
rinse aid.
