CLEANING & CARE
CLEANING THE SPRAY ARMS
The spray arms can be easily removed for
periodic cleaning of the nozzles, to prevent
possible clogging. Wash them under running
water and carefully replace them in their seats,
checking that their rotary movement is in no
way impeded. Grasp the middle of the spray
arm, pull it upwards to remove it. Wash the
arms under a jet of running water and return
them carefully to their seat. After reassembly,
check that the spray arms have been installed
correctly and turn freely.
MAINTAINING THE DISHWASHER
• After every wash, turn off the water supply to the appliance and leave the door
slightly open so that moisture and odors are not trapped inside.
• Before cleaning or performing maintenance, always remove the plug from the
socket.
• To clean the exterior and rubber parts of the dishwasher, do not use solvents or
abrasive cleaning products. Only use a cloth with warm soapy water. To remove
spots or stains from the surface of the interior, use a cloth dampened with water
with a little vinegar, or a cleaning product made specifically for dishwashers.
• It is recommend that you run a wash cycle with the dishwasher empty and then
remove the plug from the socket, turn off the water supply and leave the door of
the appliance slightly open. This will help the door seals to last longer and prevent
odors from forming within the appliance.
• If the appliance must be moved, try to keep it in the vertical position. If absolutely
necessary, it can be positioned on its back.
• One of the factors that cause odors to form in the dishwasher is food that remains
trapped in the seals. Periodic cleaning with a damp sponge will prevent this from
occurring.
