CARING FOR THE DISHWASHER
Frost precaution
Please take frost protection measures
on the dishwasher in winter. Every time
after washing cycles, please operate as
follows:
1. Cut off the electrical power to
the dishwasher at the supply source.
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 for a while so that
moisture and odors are not trapped
inside.
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 an a little vinegar,
or a cleaning product made specifically
for dishwashers.
When not in use for a long time
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.
Moving 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.
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.
Remove the plug
Before cleaning or performing
maintenance, always remove the plug
from the socket.
