Miele G 1XXX Cleaning and care, Cleaning the wash cabinet, Cleaning the door and the door seal

Cleaning and care

Check your dishwasher regularly (approx. every 4 - 6 months). This way faults and problems can be avoided.

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, such as the Miele dishwasher cleaner (available from the Miele UK Spare Parts Department).

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 residue may drip onto the sides of the dishwasher door.

These surfaces are outside the wash cabinet and are not accessed by water from the spray arms. Any soiling should be wiped off these surfaces before the door is closed.

E-Cloth

^A microfibre "E-Cloth" is available from the Miele UK Spare Parts Department, which is suitable for cleaning surfaces such as stainless steel, glass, plastic and chrome without the use of chemicals.

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 suitable cleaning agent for the type of material the front is made of. Follow the manufacturer's 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.

^To help prevent re-soiling, a proprietary conditioning agent for stainless steel, such as Neoblank (available from the Miele UK Spare Parts Department) can also be used. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the label and apply sparingly with an even pressure following the direction of the grain.
