Caring For The Dishwasher
Frost precaution
Please take frost protection measures on the dishwasher in winter. After every washing cycles, please operate as
follows:
1. Cut off the electrical power to the dishwasher at the power 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 ilter 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 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 and a little vinegar, or a
cleaning product made speciically for dishwashers.
When not in use for a longtime
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 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 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.
To remove the lower spray arm, pull out the spray arm
upward. Wash the arms in soapy and warm water and use a
soft brush to clean the jets. Replace them after rinsing
them thoroughly.
