Tips to help you save
- It is important that you try to use the dishwasher with a full
load only in order to optimise consumption levels; in the
meantime use the soak cycle to avoid the formation of bad
odours and caked-on food.
- Select the most suitable wash cycle: the choice of wash
cycle depends on the type of dishes to wash and on how
dirty they are.
- Use the right amount of detergent: if you use too much,
you will not get cleaner dishes, but just more environmental
pollution.
- There is no need to rinse the dishes before placing them
inside the dishwasher.
How to keep your dishwasher in shape
After every wash
After every wash, turn off the water tap and leave the
dishwasher door ajar, so that moisture and bad odours are
not trapped inside.
Unplug the appliance
Before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance on the
dishwasher, always remove the plug from the electricity
socket: this way you will avoid the risk of any danger.
No solvent or abrasive cleaning products
Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaning products to clean
the exterior and rubber parts of your appliance. Use a cloth
dampened with lukewarm soapy water only.
To remove any stains from the surface of the appliance
interior, use a cloth dampened with water and a little white
vinegar or a cleaning product specifically made for
dishwashers.
If you are off on holiday
When you go on holiday, we recommend you run a cycle
with the dishwasher empty, then unplug it, turn off the water
inlet tap and leave the dishwasher door ajar: this will help
the seals last longer and prevent unpleasant odours from
forming inside the appliance.
If you are moving home
Should the appliance have to be moved, try to keep it in a
vertical position.; if absolutely necessary, it can be positioned
on its back.
The seals.
One of the factors that cause unpleasant odours to form
inside the dishwasher is food that remains trapped in the
seals. Periodic cleaning using a damp sponge will prevent
this from occurring.
The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requires that old household
electrical appliances must not be disposed of in the normal
unsorted municipal waste stream. Old appliances must be
collected separately in order to optimise the recovery and
recycling of the materials they contain and reduce the impact
on human health and the environment.
Disposal of old electrical appliances
The crossed out "wheeled bin" symbol on the product
reminds you of your obligation, that when you dispose of
the appliance it must be separately collected.
Consumers should contact their local authority or retailer for
information concerning the correct disposal of their old
appliance.
