Maintenance and Cleaning
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 arm under a jet of running
water and replace it carefully to its seat. After reassembly,
check that the spray arms rotate freely. Otherwise, check
that they have been installed correctly.
How to Keep Your Dishwasher in Shape
■
After Every Wash
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.
■
Remove the Plug
Before cleaning or performing 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 with 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 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
positioned on its back.
■
Seals
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.
