Energy Saving Tips

- It is important to try and run the dishwasher when it is

fully loaded in order to save on energy. In order to prevent

odors from forming and food from caking onto the dishes,

you can run the hold cycle.

- Choose the right wash cycle: the choice of cycle depends

on the type of dishware, cookware and utensils being

washed and how dirty they are.

- Use the right amount of detergent: if you use too much

detergent, the result will not be cleaner dishes, but, rather,

a greater negative impact on the environment.

- There is no utility in rinsing dishes, cookware and utensils

before placing them in the dishwasher.

After Every Wash

After every wash, turn off the water supply to the appliance

and leave the door slightly ajar so that moisture and odors

are not trapped inside.

Remove the Plug

Before cleaning or performing maintenance, always

remove the plug from the socket. Do not run risks.

No Solvents or Abrasive Cleaning Products

To clean the exterior and rubber parts of the dishwasher,

do not use solvents or abrasive cleaning products. Rather,

use only a cloth and warm soapy water.

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.

When You Go on Holiday

When you go on holiday, it is recommended 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 ajar. This will help

the seals last longer and prevent odors 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 odors to form in the

dishwasher is food that remains trapped in the seals.

Periodic cleaning with a damp sponge will prevent this

from occuring.

How to Keep Your Dishwasher in Shape

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.
