- It is important to try and run the dishwasher when it is fully loaded
in order to save on energy. In order to prevent odours from form
ing and food from caking onto the dishes, you can run the soak
cycle.
- Choose the right wash cycle: the choice depends on the type of
dishware, cookware and utensils being washed and how dirty
they are.
Energy Saving Tips
- Use the right amount of detergent: if you use too much detergent,
the result will not be cleaner dishes, but, rather, a greater nega
tive impact on the environment.
- There is no utility in rinsing dishes, cookware and utensils be
fore placing them in the dishwasher.
How to Keep Your Dishwasher in Shape
After Every Wash
After every wash, turn off the water supply to the appliance and
leave the door slightly ajar so that moisture and odours 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 Products
To clean the exterior and rubber parts of the dishwasher, do not
use solvents or abrasive cleaning products. Use 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 clean-
ing product made specifically for dishwashers.
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.
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 pre-
vent odours from forming inside the appliance.
