Warning
You have to wait 20 minutes after a cycle to
let the heating elements cool down, before
cleaning the interior; Otherwise, there is a
risk of severe burns.
You have to contact a water softener
company for a special filter.
To clean the interior, use a damp sponge
with dishwasher detergent while wearing rub-
ber gloves. Never use any other cleaner
than dishwasher detergent to avoid the risk
risk of foaming or suds.
Reload the dishes properly
There is some steam coming through the
vent by the door latch during drying and
water draining.
Use a mild abrasive cleaner to eliminate
those marks.
A small amount of clean water around the
outlet on the bottom rear of the tub keeps
the water seal lubricated.
Be careful not to overfill the rinse agent dis-
penser. Spilled rinse agent could cause
over-sudsing and lead to overflowing. Wipe
away any spills with a damp cloth.
Make sure the dishwasher is level.
