							Check your dishwasher regularly
(approx. every 4 - 6 months). This
way faults and problems can be
avoided.
*In the UK, Miele branded cleaning
and conditioning products as well as
a microfibre E-cloth which is suitable
for cleaning surfaces such as
stainless steel, glass, plastic and
chrome without the use of chemicals
are available from the Miele Spare
Parts Department or via the internet
on www.miele.co.uk.
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*.
Cleaning the door and the door
seal
^
Wipe the door seals regularly with a
damp cloth to remove food deposits.
^
When the dishwasher is being
loaded, food and drink residues may
drip onto the sides of the dishwasher
door.
These surfaces are outside the wash
cabinet and are not accessed by wa-
ter from the spray arms. Any soiling
should be wiped off these surfaces
before the door is closed.
Cleaning the reflector panel
The reflector panel for the In-operation
indicator light is situated in the
coverplate underneath the worktop.
It can be taken out of its plastic holder
to be cleaned.
^Open the door and carefully remove
the reflector panel from the holder.
^The reflector panel and its plastic
holder should only be wiped with a
damp cloth or a suitable cleaning
agent designed for use on plastic.
^Replace the reflector panel in its
holder.
,Do not use abrasive cleaning
agents, glass cleaning agents or
all-purpose cleaners. Because of
their chemical composition, they
could cause serious damage to
surfaces.

							Cleaning the control panel
,Do not use abrasive cleaning
agents, glass cleaning agents or
all-purpose cleaners. Because of
their chemical composition, they
could cause serious damage to
surfaces.
^This shouldonlybe wiped with a
damp cloth.
Cleaning the door front
,Do not use any cleaning agents
containing ammonia or thinners.
These would damage the surface
structure.
^Clean the front using a Miele E-Cloth*
or with a suitable cleaning agent for
the type of material the front is made
of. Follow the manufacturers
instructions.
^Door fronts made from wood should
only be cleaned using a damp cloth,
and then dried with a soft cloth.
^Door fronts made of stainless steel
should be cleaned using a damp
cloth and a little washing up liquid, or
a proprietary non-abrasive cleaning
agent designed specifically for use
on stainless steel. Follow the
manufacturers instructions on the
packaging.
^To help prevent re-soiling, a
proprietary conditioning agent for
stainless steel* can also be used.

							Checking the filters in the
wash cabinet
The filter combination in the base of the
wash cabinet retains coarse soil from
the suds solution, preventing it
accessing the circulation system and
re-entering the cabinet through the
spray arms.
,This dishwasher must not be
used without all the filters in place.
Collection of coarse soil may cause the
filters to clog. The level of soiling and
time it takes before the filters need
cleaning will vary depending on use.
The message
Check filterswill appear
in the display after every 40 programme
cycles (factory default setting).
You can set the interval for this
message to appear to between 30
and 60 programme cycles (see
Settings menuJ, Check filters).
^
Check the filter combination.
^
Clean it, if necessary.
^
Then confirm the message with
OK.
The display will change to show the
main menu.
Cleaning the filters
^Switch the dishwasher off.
^Turn the handle anti-clockwise to
release the filter combinationa.
^Lift the filter combination out of the
dishwasherb. Remove any coarse
particles and rinse the filter well
under running water. Use a nylon
brush if necessary.

cabinet.
^Then turn the handle clockwise to
lock the filter combination in place.

secured in position correctly.
Otherwise coarse soil could get into
the circulation system and cause a
blockage.
