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

loaded in order to save on energy. To prevent odours from form-

ing and food from caking onto the dishes, you can run the soak

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.

Energy Saving Tips

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

the result will not be cleaner dishes, but, rather, a greater nega-

tive impact on the enviroment.

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

fore 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 odours are not

trapped inside.

Remove the Plug

Before cleaning or performing maintenance, always remove the

plug from the socket.

No Solvents or Abrasive Cleaning Products

To clean the exterior and rubber parts of the dishwasher, do not

use solvents or abrasive cleaning products. Use only a cloth and

warm soapy water.

To remove spots or stains from the surface of the interior, use a

cloth damp 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 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 sponge will prevent this from occuring.
