Cleaning the spraying arms
It is important to regularly clean the spraying arms so that hard water minerals do not clog the jets and the
bearings of the spraying arms. Detach the spraying arms by turning the nut clockwise, remove the washer from
the spraying arm and then the spraying arm itself.
Wash the spraying arms in warm soapy water and clean out the jets using a brush. After thoroughly fl ushing
them reattach them.

How to keep your dishwasher in good condition?
• After every wash
After every wash close the water inlet into the dishwasher and leave the door slightly open so that
humidity that would otherwise accumulate inside is ventilated out.
• Disconnect from the power socket
Always disconnect the dishwasher from the power source before cleaning or any maintenance.
• No solvents or sandy cleaning agents
Never clean the external or rubber parts of the dishwasher using solvents or sandy cleaning agents.
Only use a wiping cloth dipped in warm soapy water.
Remove stains from the surface of the dishwasher using a wiping cloth dipped in water with a little vinegar
or a cleaning agent specially designed for dishwashers.
• When taking out of operation for an extended period
We recommend that you run an empty cycle without dishes and then disconnect the dishwasher from
the power source, shut off the water supply and leave the dishwasher door slightly open. This will help to
increase the lifetime of the door seals and will prevent the accumulation of odours inside the dishwasher.
• Moving the appliance
In the event that you need to move the appliance, you must move it in the vertical position. If it is really
necessary place it down on its rear side.
• Seal
One of the factors causing odours inside the dishwasher is food remains, which get caught in the seals. You
can prevent this by regularly cleaning with a damp sponge.
