Cleaning the Spray Arms
It is necessary to clean the spray arms regularly in
order to remove the accumulation of scale from
the hard water and thus prevent blocking of spray
arm jets and bearings.
We Suggest to poke the blocked spray arm jets
with a needle to ensure good washing effect.
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 open 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
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. To remove spots or stains from the surface of the
interior, use a cloth dampened with water an a little vinegar, or a cleaning product made specifically for
dishwashers.
• When not in Use for a LongTime
It is recommend 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 open. This will help
the door seals to 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 formin the dishwasher is food that remains trapped in the
seals. Periodic cleaning with a damp sponge will prevent this from occurring.
