Keep the buttons clean and free from grease. Wipe them clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Never use cleaners – they can scratch the surface. Use the main power switch to turn off the dishwasher before cleaning the buttons to avoid activating any buttons unintentionally.
The dishwasher tub
The dishwasher tub is made of stainless steel and is kept clean through normal use.
Limescale deposits
If you have hard water, limescale deposits may build up in the dishwasher. If this happens, run the Self-cleaning programme with two tablespoons of citric acid in the detergent compartment (with no dishes in the machine). Special dishwasher cleaners are also available on the market.
