Cleaning and care 61Cleaning the door front Soiling that is left too long might become impossible to remove and could cause external surfaces to al‐ ter or discolour. Remove any soiling immediately. Cle an the front with a solution of warm water and a little washing-up liquid applied with a soft sponge. Wipe the surfaces dry using a soft cloth. For cleaning, you can also use a clean, damp microfibre cloth, such as the Original Miele all purpose microfi‐ bre cloth, without any cleaning agent. To avoid damaging external surfaces, do not use: – cleaning agents containing soda, ammonia, acids or chlorides, – cleaning agents containing descaling agents, – abrasive cleaning agents, e.g. pow‐ der clean ers and cream cleaners, – solvent-based cleaning agents, – stainless steel cleaning agents, – dishwasher cleaner, – oven cleaner, – glass cleaning agents, – hard, abrasive brushes or sponges, e.g. pot scour ers, brushes or spong‐ es which have been previously used with abrasive cleaning agents, – dirt erasers, – sharp metal scrapers, – steel wool or metal scourers, – steam cleaning appliances.
Cleaning and care 62Checking the filters in the wash cabinet The filter combination in the base of the wash cabinet r etains coarse soil from the suds solution, preventing it access‐ ing the circulation system and re-enter‐ing the cabinet through the spray arms. This dishwasher must not be u sed without all the filters in place. Collection of coarse soil may cause the filt ers to clog. The level of soiling and time it takes before the filters need cleaning will vary depending on use. Che ck the condition of the filters reg‐ ularly and clean them if necessary. Cleaning the filters Switch the dishwasher off. Turn the handle anti-clockwise to re‐ lease the filter combination . Lift the filt er combination out of the dishwasher . Remove any coarse particles and rinse the filter well un‐ der running water. Use a nylon brush if necessary. During cl eaning ensure that course soil doesn't get into the cir‐ culation system and cause a block‐ age.
Cleaning and care 63To clean the inside of the filter, the flap must be opened: Press the catches together in the direction of the arrows as shown, and open the filter . Rin se all the filters under running wa‐ ter. Then close the flap so that the catch engages. Replace the filter combination so that it lies flat in the base of the wash cabinet. Then turn the handle clockwise until both arr ows point towards each oth‐ er. This will lock the filter combination in place. T ake care when you are fitting the filter combination that it is se‐ cured in position correctly. Otherwise coarse soil could get into the ci rculation system and cause a blockage.
Cleaning and care 64Cleaning the spray arms Particles of food can get stuck in the spr ay arm jets and bearings. The spray arms should therefore be inspected and cleaned regularly (approx. every 4 - 6 months). Switch the dishwasher off.

P ush the middle spray arm upwards to engage the ratchet. Then un‐ screw the spray arm . Remo ve the lower basket. P ull the lower spray arm firmly up‐ wards to remove it. Use a point ed object to push food particles into the spray arm jets. Rin se thoroughly under running wa‐ ter. Refit the spr ay arms and check that they rotate freely.
