Cleaning and care

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 grease deposits in the cabinet these can be removed with a proprietary dishwasher cleaner.

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 wa- ter from the spray arms. Any soiling should be wiped off these surfaces before the door is closed.

Cleaning the control panel and door front panel

Plastic panels:

^This type of panel should only be wiped with a damp cloth or suitable cleaning agent designed for use on plastic.

,Do not use abrasive cleaning agents, glass cleaning agents or all-purpose cleaners. Because of their chemical composition they could cause serious damage to plastic surfaces.

Stainless steel panels:

^Clean using a proprietary non-abra- sive cleaning agent designed specifi- cally for use on stainless steel.To help prevent re-soiling, proprietary condi- tioning agents for stainless steel can also be used. Apply sparingly with an even pressure in the direction of the grain.

Aluminium panels:

Aluminium is affected by the way that light falls on it, by the surrounding envi- ronment and by the angle you observe it from.

Aluminium is susceptible to scratching and abrasion and must be treated with due care.

^Soiling should be removed as soon as possible using a damp cloth and a little washing up liquid.

,Aluminium surfaces and controls may suffer discolouration or damage if soiling is left on them for too long.
