HOW to Keep Your Dishwasher in Shape

BAUMATIC BDW13, BDW14 dishwasher user manual

HOW TO KEEP YOUR DISHWASHER IN SHAPE

AFTER EVERY WASH, leave the door slightly ajar so that moisture and odours are not trapped inside.

REMOVE THE PLUG before cleaning or performing maintenance. Never run the risk of electric shocks.

DO NOT USE SOLVENTS OR ABRASIVE CLEANING AGENTS to clean the exterior and the rubber

parts of the dishwasher. Only use 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, run a wash cycle with the dishwasher empty. Then unplug it, turn off the water supply and leave the door slightly ajar to prevent odours and mould from developing.

MOVING THE APPLIANCE is possible but KEEP IT UPRIGHT.

SEALS can trap food, which in turn will cause odours. Periodic cleaning with a damp cloth or sponge will prevent this from becoming a problem.

PROTECTING YOUR DISHWASHER AGAINST FREEZING

If your dishwasher is left in an unheated place during the winter, ask a service technician to:

1)Cut off electrical power to the dishwasher. Remove fuses or trip circuit breaker.

2)Turn off the water supply and disconnect the water inlet pipe from the water valve & discharge hoses.

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 plastic sump cover in the tub bottom and use a sponge to soak up water in the rubber boot.
