Protection Against Freezing; Cleaning The Door; Maintaining The Dishwasher - Kogan 9 Series User Manual

Protection against freezing

If the dishwasher is left in an unheated place during the winter, contact an authorised
service technician to:
1. Cut off electrical power to the dishwasher.
2. Turn off the water supply and disconnect the water inlet pipe from the water valve.
3. Drain water from the inlet pipe and water valve (use a pan to catch the water).
4. Reconnect the water inlet pipe to the water valve.
5. Remove the filter in the tub and the bottom and use a sponge to use up water in
the sump.

Cleaning the Door

•
To clean the edge around the door, you should use only a soft warm, damp rag. To
prevent penetration of water into the door lock and electrical components, never
use a spray cleaner of any kind.
•
Never use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads on the outer surfaces because they
will scratch the finish. Some papers towels can also scratch or leave marks on the
surface.

Maintaining the dishwasher

•
Before cleaning or performing maintenance, always remove the plug from the
socket.
•
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 going on holiday, it is recommended to 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 in the appliance.
• One of the factors that cause odours to form in the dishwasher is food that remains
trapped in the seals. Periodic cleaning with a damp sponge will prevent this.
