Looking after your dishwasher

• 

After every wash

, leave the door slightly ajar so moisture and odours are not 

trapped inside.

• 

Before cleaning or maintenance

, always unplug the dishwasher from the socket.

No solvents or abrasive cleaning 

• 

To clean the control panel, use a lightly dampened cloth and dry the area 
thoroughly afterwards. 

• 

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. Or use a 
good appliance cleaner.

• 

To remove spots or stains from the surface of the interior, use a cloth dampened 
with water and a little white vinegar, or a cleaning product made specifically for 
dishwashers.

• 

Clean the door seals periodically with a damp sponge to remove any trapped 
food remnants and prevent odours developing inside the dishwasher.

Other Useful Information (Cont.)

In special situations

Going on holidays

When your dishwasher is not going to be used for some time, we recommend you run 
a wash cycle with the dishwasher empty and then unplug the dishwasher from the 
socket, turn off the water supply and leave the door slightly ajar. This will help with 
door seal durability and odour prevention inside the appliance.

Moving the dishwasher

If you must move the dishwasher, try to keep it in a vertical position. Only put it on its 
back if absolutely necessary.

Frost protection

If your dishwasher is left in an unheated place during winter and temperatures are 
likely to drop to below zero degrees Celsius, you should take certain precautions to 
prevent water freezing in the pipes. Unplug the dishwasher from the electrical power 
supply and turn off the water supply. Then ask an authorised service technician to: 
• 

Disconnect the water inlet pipe from the water valve.

• 

Drain any water from the inlet pipe and water valve (use a pan to catch the water).

• 

Reconnect the water inlet pipe to the water valve.

• 

Remove the filter assembly from the bottom of the dishwasher and wipe up any 
water left in the sump with an absorbent sponge.

If your dishwasher does not work because of ice, contact a qualified service technician.
