Cleaning and care
CLEANING
Keep the dishwasher clean to improve performance, reduce unnecessary repairs, and lengthen the lifecycle.
Exterior
Clean spills on the surface of the dishwasher immediately. Use a soft, damp cloth on the control
panel to gently wipe away spills and dust.
CAUTION
• Do not use benzene, wax, thinner, chlorine bleach, alcohol, or other chemical
substances. These materials may discolour the surface of the dishwasher and cause
stains.
• The dishwasher has electric parts inside. Do not spray water directly onto the
dishwasher. Protect electrical components from water.
• For a stainless-steel door panel, use a stainless steel cleaner for home appliances and a
clean, soft cloth.
Interior
Clean the interior of the dishwasher on a regular basis to remove any dirt or food particles. Wipe
inside the dishwasher and inside the door with a wet dishcloth.
CAUTION
• Do not remove the front seal (the long rubber seal enclosing the opening of the
dishwasher). The seal keeps the inner side of the dishwasher sealed.
• Use a damp cloth to remove lime scale or grease deposits inside the dishwasher.
Alternatively, apply some detergent, and then run an empty cycle using the highest rinse
temperature.
Nozzles
To prevent the nozzles from being clogged or if the nozzles are clogged, remove and clean each
nozzle. Use caution when removing the nozzles as they may break.
