Energy Saving Tips

-It is important to try and run the dishwasher when it is fully loaded in order to save on energy. In order to prevent odours from form ing and food from caking onto the dishes, you can run the soak cycle.

-Choose the right wash cycle: the choice 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 nega tive impact on the environment.

-There is no utility in rinsing dishes, cookware and utensils be fore placing them in the dishwasher.

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 odours are not trapped inside.

Remove the Plug

Before cleaning or performing maintenance, always remove the plug from the socket. Do not run risks.

No Solvents or Abrasive Cleaning Products

To clean the exterior and rubber parts of the dishwasher, do not use solvents or abrasive cleaning products. 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 clean- ing 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 positioned on its back.

Seals

One of the factors that cause odours to form in the dishwasher is food that remains trapped in the seals. Periodic cleaning with a damp sponge will prevent this from occurring.

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 pre- vent odours from forming inside the appliance.
