Care and Maintenance

CLEANING:

To clean the control panel use a lightly dampened cloth then dry thoroughly. To clean the exterior use a good appliance polish wax. Never use sharp objects, scouring pads or harsh cleaners on any part of the dishwasher.

PROTECT 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 dishwasherand remove fuses or trip circuit breaker.

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

3)Drain the 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 the bottom and use a sponge to soak up the water in rubber boot.

CLEANING THE SPRAY ARMS:

It is necessary to clean the spray arms regularly as hard water chemicals will clog the spray arm jets and bearings. To remove the spray arm, screw off the nut to take out the washer on top of the spray arm and remove the arm. Wash the arms in soapy, warm water and use a soft brush to clean the jets. Replace after rinsing them thoroughly.

CLEANING THE FILTERS:

•For best performance and results, the filter assembly must be cleaned.

•Inspect the filters for obstructions every time the dishwasher has been used.

•By unscrewing the coarse filter you can remove the filter system. Remove any food remnants and use a cleaning brush to clean the filters under running water.

•Follow Step 1 to Step 3 to remove the filter system; follow Step 3 to Step 1 to install the filter system.

WARNING: NEVER RUN THE DISHWASHER WITHOUTTHE FILTERS IN PLACE.

CLEANING THE DOOR:

To clean the edge around the door, you should use only a soft warm, damp rag. To prevent penetration of water into the door lock and electrical components, do not use a spray cleaner of any kind. Also, never use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads on the outer surfaces because they will scratch the finish. Some papers towels can also scratch or leave marks on the surface.

How to Keep Your Dishwasher Running Properly...

After Every Wash- After every wash, turn off the water supply to the applianceand leave the door slightly ajar so that moisture and odors are not trapped inside.

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 only a cloth and warm, soapy water. To remove spots or stains from the surface of the interior, use a cloth dampened with warm water and a little white vinegar, or a cleaning product made specifically for dishwashers.

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