Care And Cleaning - Hotpoint SDW 60 Instructions For Installation And Use Manual

Care and Cleaning

Unplug the appliance.
Before carrying out any cleaning or
maintenance on the dishwasher,
always remove the plug from the
electricity socket.
After every wash.
When the wash cycle has ended,
always remember to turn off the
water supply tap and to leave the
appliance door ajar. This way,
moisture and bad odours will not
be trapped inside.
The filter assembly
• If you want consistent good results
from your dishwasher, you need to
clean the filter assembly.
• Remove the larger food particles
trapped inside the cup "C" and the
semi-circular filter A after each
wash; pull the cup handle upwards
to remove them. Just rinse them
under running water.
• The entire filter assembly should
be cleaned thoroughly once a
month: cup C + semi-circular filter
A + cylindrical filter B. Rotate filter
"B" anticlockwise to remove it.
For cleaning, use a non metallic
brush.

Reassemble the filter parts (as
shown in the figure) and reinsert
the whole assembly into the
dishwasher. Position it into its
housing and press downwards.
The dishwasher is not to be used
without filters. Improper
replacement of the filters may re-
duce the efficiency of the wash and
even damage your dishwasher.
Cleaning the spray arms.
Food residue may become
encrusted onto the spray arms and
block the holes where water comes
out. Check the spray arms regularly
and clean them once in a while.
Cleaning the Water Inlet
Filter
Periodically clean the water inlet
filter (see figure 2 under
"Installation") located on the outlet
of the water supply tap. After turning
off the water tap, unscrew the end
of the water supply hose, remove
the filter and clean it carefully under
running water. Then, return the filter
to its place and tighten the water
supply hose back into position.
The seals.
One of the factors that cause
unpleasant odours to form inside
the dishwasher is food that remains
trapped in the seals. Periodic
cleaning using a damp sponge will
prevent this from occurring.
DO NOT use solvents or abrasives
to clean the exterior and rubber
parts of your appliance, do not use
solvents or abrasive cleaning
products. Use a cloth dampened
with lukewarm soapy water only.
If there are any stains on the surface
of the appliance interior, use a cloth
dampened with water and a little
white vinegar, or a cleaning product
specifically made for dishwashers.

Going away
If the dishwasher is not going to be
used for some time, carry out the
following:
• run a cycle with the dishwasher
empty.
• switch off at the electrical socket
and unplug.
• turn off the water supply tap,
disconnect the inlet hose and
allow to drain.
• fill the rinse aid dispenser.
• leave the door ajar, to prevent the
build up of unpleasant odours
inside the dishwasher.
Before using the dishwasher after
a long break, plug in and switch on
at the electrical socket. Reconnect
the inlet hose and turn on the water
supply tap. Check there are no
deposits of rust inside the water
pipe, if there are allow water to run
from the supply tap for a few
minutes.
Disconnecting
dishwasher.
When disconnecting
dishwasher it is important that tasks
are carried out in the correct
sequence.
• switch off at the mains and remove
the plug from the socket.
• turn off the water supply.
• disconnect drain and water inlet
hose.
• pull out the dishwasher, carefully,
withdrawing hoses at the same
time.
Moving the appliance.
