26 electrolux care and cleaning
NEVER try to remove the spray arms.
If residues of soil have clogged the holes in the spray arms, remove them with a cocktail stick.
External cleaning
Clean the external surfaces of the machine and control panel with a damp soft cloth. If necessary use only neutral detergents. Never use abrasive products, scouring pads or solvent (acetone, trichloroethylene etc....).
Ensure that the seals around the door, the detergent and rinse aid dispensers are cleaned regularly with a damp cloth.
We recommend every 3 months to run a 65°C wash programme without dishes using detergent.
Prolonged periods of non- operation
If you are not using the machine for any period of time you are advised to:
1.Unplug the appliance and then turn off the water.
2.Leave the door ajar to prevent the formation of any unpleasant smells.
3.Leave the inside of the machine clean.
Frost precautions
Avoid placing the machine in a location where the temperature is below 0°C. If this is unavoidable, empty the machine, close the appliance door, disconnect the water inlet pipe and empty it.
Moving the machine

1.Unplug it.
2.Turn the water tap off.
3.Remove the water inlet and discharge hoses.
4.Pull the machine out together with the hoses.
