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.
How to Keep Your Dishwasher in Shape
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.
