How to Keep Your Dishwasher in Shape
Warning
Electrical Shock Hazard!
Disconnect electrical power before installing dishwasher.
Failure to do so can result in death or electrical shock.
After Every Wash
After every wash, turn off the water supply to
the appliance and leave the door slightly ajar so
that moisture and odors are not trapped inside.
Remove the Plug
Before cleaning or performing maintenance,
always remove the plug from the socket. Do not
run risks.
No Solvents or Abrasive Cleaning
To clean the exterior and rubber parts of the
dishwasher, do not use solvents or abrasive
cleaning products. Use only a cloth and
warm soapy water. To remove spots or stains
from the surface of the interior, use a cloth
dampened with water and a little white vinegar,
or a cleaning product made specifically for
dishwashers.
Attention:
The installation of the pipes and electrical
equipments should be done by professionals.
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 odors from forming in
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 odors to form in
the dishwasher is food that remains trapped in
the seals. Periodic cleaning with a damp sponge
will prevent this.
