products. use only a cloth and warm soapy water. To remove spots or stains from the surface of

When You Go on Holiday
When you go on holiday, it is recommended 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 ajar. This will help the seals 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 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.
