Care and cleaning 29
WARNING!
NEVER use the dishwasher without filters. Incorrect repositioning and fitting of the filters will produce poor washing results and may result in damage to the appliance.
Cleaning the spray arms
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, scour- ing pads or solvent (acetone, trichloroethylene etc....).
Internal cleaning
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 the wash programme for heavy soiled dishes using detergent but without dishes.
Prolonged periods of non-operation
If you are not using the machine for any prolonged 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.
