Caring for the Dishwasher
The control panel can be cleaned by using a lightly
dampened cloth. After cleaning, make sure to dry it
thoroughly.
For the exterior, use a good appliance polish wax.
Never use sharp objects, scouring pads or harsh
cleaners on any part of the dishwasher.
Cleaning the Door

electrical components, do not use a spray cleaner of
any kind.
To remove the upper spray arm, hold the nut and
rotate the arm clockwise to remove it.
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.
How to keep your Dishwasher in shape
After every wash, turn off the water supply to the
Ÿ
appliance and leave the door slightly open so that
moisture and odours are not trapped inside.

Ÿ
always remove the electrical plug from the socket.

Ÿ
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
Ÿ
interior, use a cloth dampened with water and 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

dishwasher is food that remains trapped in the seals.
Periodic cleaning with a damp sponge will prevent
this from occurring.
