Caring for the dishwasher
Frost precautions
1. Switch off the electrical supply to the dishwasher at the
power socket.
2. Turn off the water supply and disconnect the water inlet
pipe from the water valve.
3. Drain the water from the inlet pipe and water valve.
(Use a pan to gather the water.)
4. Reconnect the water inlet pipe to the water valve.
5.
Remove the filter at the bottom of the tub and use a
sponge to soak up water in the sump.
After every wash
After every wash, turn off the water supply to the appliance
and leave the door slightly open so that moisture and
odours are not trapped inside.
Remove the plug
Before cleaning or carrying out maintenance, always
remove the plug from the socket.
No solvents or abrasive cleaning
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 and a little vinegar, or a
cleaning product made specifically for dishwashers.
If the dishwasher will not be used for a long time
It is recommend that you run a wash cycle with the
dishwasher empty and then remove the plug from the
power 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 odours from forming within the
appliance.
Moving the appliance
If the appliance must be moved, try to keep it in the vertical
position. If absolutely necessary, it can be laid on its back.
Seals
One of the factors that cause odours to form in the
dishwasher is food that remains trapped in the seals.
Periodic cleaning with a damp sponge will prevent this from
occurring.
WARNING
Electrical shock hazard
Disconnect electrical power before installing
the dishwasher.
Failure to do so could result in death or
electrical shock.
Attention
Hoses and electrical equipment should be installed by
professionals.
About Power Connection
WARNING
For personal safety:
• Do not use an extension cord or an adapter plug with this appliance.
• Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the earthing connection
from the power cord.
Electrical requirements
Please look at the rating label to check the rating voltage
and connect the dishwasher to the appropriate power
supply. Use the recommended fuse (10A/13A/16A), time
delay fuse or circuit breaker, and connect to a separate
circuit that only serves this appliance.
Electrical connection
Ensure that the voltage and frequency of the power supply
Installation instructions
match those on the rating plate. Only insert the plug into a
power socket that is correctly earthed. If the electrical socket
to which the appliance must be connected is not appropriate
for the plug, replace the socket, rather than using adapters
or the like, as they could cause overheating and fires.
Ensure the dishwasher is correctly earthed before
use
Water supply and drain
Cold water connection
Connect the cold water supply hose to a threaded 3/4 inch
connector and make sure that it is fastened tightly in place.
If the water pipes are new or have not been used for an
extended period of time, let the water run to make sure that
the water is clear. This precaution is necessary to avoid the
risk of the water inlet becoming blocked and damaging the
appliance.
