Energy Saving Tips; How To Keep Your Dishwasher In Shape - Haier HDW9SST Instructions For Use Manual

Energy Saving Tips

It is important to try and run the dishwasher when it is fully loaded to save on energy.
Rather than run a full cycle for a half load, you can run the "PRE-RINSE" cycle which will prevent odours
from forming and food from caking onto the dishes.
Choose the right wash cycle: the choice of cycle depends on the type of dishware, cookware and utensils
being washed and how dirty they are.
Use the right amount of detergent: if you use too much detergent, the result will not be cleaner dishes, but,
rather, a greater negative impact on the environment.

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.
Solvents or Abrasive Cleaning Products
Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaning products to clean the exterior and rubber parts of the dishwasher,
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.
Moving the Appliance
If the appliance must be moved, try to keep it in the vertical position. If absolutely necessary, it can be laid
on its back.
DO NOT LAY THE MACHINE ON ITS RIGHT HAND SIDE
Seals
One of the reasons that odours form in the dishwasher is that food get trapped in the seals. Periodic clean-
ing with a sponge will prevent this.
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 odours from forming.
