upward.
Wash the arms in soapy and warm water and use a
soft brush to clean the jets. Replace them after rinsing
them thoroughly.
How to keep your Dishwasher in shape
After every wash, turn off the water supply to the
Ÿ
appliance and leave the door slightly open so that
moisture and odours are not trapped inside.
Before cleaning or performing maintenance,
Ÿ
always remove the electrical plug from the socket.
To clean the exterior and rubber parts of the
Ÿ
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
Ÿ
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 long time
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.
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.
