Cleaning and care Check and clean your dishwasher regularly. This will help avoid prob‐ lems and faults.  All surfaces are susceptible to scratching. Contact with unsuitable cleaning agents can alter or discolor all surfa‐ ces. Cleaning the wash cabinet Generally, the wash cabinet is self cleaning if the correct amount of deter‐ gent is used. If, however, there are lime scale or grease deposits in the cabinet, these can be removed with a special dish‐ washer cleaner (see "Optional accesso‐ ries"). Follow the instructions on the packaging. If you mainly use low temperature pro‐ grams (< 120°F/50 °C), there is a risk of bacteria and unpleasant odors building up in the wash cabinet. To prevent this happening the dishwasher will automat‐ ically increase the temperature in the fi‐ nal rinse of the selected program after several programs using low tempera‐ tures have been run.  Clean the filters in the wash cabinet regularly. Cleaning the door and the door seal Bacteria could build up on the door seal and the sides of the dishwasher door as these surfaces are outside the wash cabinet and are not accessed and cleaned by the spray arm jets.  Wipe the door seals regularly with a damp cloth to remove food deposits.  Wipe off any food or drink residues which may have dripped onto the sides of the dishwasher door before closing it. Cleaning the control panel  The control panel should only be wiped with a damp cloth. 46
