If the dishwasher is not going to be used for a long period of time, e.g., you are going on holiday,
please disconnect the dishwasher from the mains supply and switch off the water supply.
Unload the lower basket first, followed by the cutlery basket and then the upper basket. This will
prevent water drops from the upper basket from falling onto the dishes in the lower basket.
Switch off the Power and Water When Not in Use
To save energy, remember to switch the dishwasher off using the ON/OFF button. The dishwasher will
continue to use electricity until it is switched off with the ON/OFF button.
Unloading The Dishwasher
Allowing dishes to cool down before unloading is important as dishes tend to break and chip more easily
when they are hot. Therefore, if you open the dishwasher door fully after switching off, it will allow the
dishes to cool down much faster.
Cleaning After Use
External Care
The Door and the Door Seal
• Clean the door seals regularly with a soft damp cloth to remove food deposits.
• When the dishwasher is being loaded, food and drink residues 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 deposits should be wiped off before the door is closed.
The Control Panel
If cleaning is required, the control panel should be wiped with a soft damp cloth ONLY.
• To avoid penetration of water into the door lock and electrical components, do not use a spray
cleaner of any kind.
• Never use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads on the outer surfaces because they may scratch
the finish. Some paper towels may also scratch or leave marks on the surface.
