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
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 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 in 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.
