Care and maintenance

Shutting off the water and electricity
supplies
•	Turn off the water tap after every wash cycle to avoid
	leaks.
•	Always unplug the appliance when cleaning it and when
	performing maintenance work.
Cleaning the dishwasher
•	The external surfaces of the machine and the control
	panel may be cleaned using a non-abrasive cloth which
	has been dampened with water. Do not use solvents or
	abrasive products.
•	Any marks on the inside of the appliance may be
	removed using a cloth dampened with water and a little
	vinegar.
Preventing unpleasant odours
•	Always keep the door of the appliance ajar in order to
	avoid moisture from forming and being trapped inside
	the machine.
•	Clean the seals around the door and detergent
	dispensers regularly using a damp sponge. This will
	avoid food becoming trapped in the seals, which is the
	main cause behind the formation of unpleasant odours.
