Caring For The Dishwasher
Frost precaution
Please take frost protection measures on the dishwasher in winter. Every time after
washing cycles, please operate as follows:
1.
Cut off the electrical power to the dishwasher at the supply 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 filter 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 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 an a little vinegar, or a cleaning product made specifically for dishwashers.
When not in use for a longtime
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 odors
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.
