MAINTENANCE
Caring for the dishwasher
Frost precaution
Please take frost protection measures on the dishwasher in winter. Every time after a washing
cycle, please operate as follows:
•
Cut off the electrical power to the dishwasher at the supply source.
•
Turn off the water supply and disconnect the water inlet pipe from the water valve.
•
Drain the water from the inlet pipe and water valve (use a pan to gather the water).
•
Reconnect the water inlet pipe to the water valve.
•
Remove the filter at the bottom of the dishwasher 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 odours 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 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.
