Cleaning the Dishwasher 

 
The control panel can be cleaned by using a lightly dampened cloth. Dry 
thoroughly with a soft towel. 
 
Never use sharp objects, scouring pads or harsh cleaners on any part of the 
dishwasher.  

Cleaning the Door 

 

To clean the edge around the door, you should use only a soft warm damp cloth. 
To prevent water into the door lock or electrical components, do not use a liquid 
spray or cleaner of any kind. 

 

 

 

WARNING: abrasive agents or some paper towels may scratch 
or leave spots on the stainless steel surface 

 

Cleaning the Spray Arms 

 

The spray arms can be removed for periodic cleaning of the nozzles to prevent 
possible clogging. Wash the spray arms under running water and carefully 
reinstall them making sure that the movement is in no way impeded.  

 

Protect Against Freezing

 

 
Please take frost protection measures on the dishwasher in winter. Each time 
after washing cycles, please take the following steps: 
1. Turn off the dishwasher 
2. Turn off the water supply and disconnect the water inlet hose from the back of 
the unit. 
3. Drain the water from the inlet hose and inlet port. (Use a pan to catch the 
water) 
4. Reconnect the water inlet hose to the inlet port. 
5. Remove the filter system and use a sponge to absorb the water that is in the 
sump area.
