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, scouring pads or sol- vent (acetone, trichloroethylene etc....).
Internal cleaning
Ensure that the seals around the door, the de- tergent 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 de- tergent but without dishes.
Prolonged periods of non- operation
If you are not using the machine for any pro- longed 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 forma- tion 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 ap- pliance door, disconnect the water inlet pipe and empty it.
Moving the machine
If you have to move the machine (moving house etc....):
1.Unplug it.
2.Turn the water tap off.
3.Remove the water inlet and discharge ho- ses.
4.Pull the machine out together with the ho- ses.
Avoid over tilting the machine during transpor- tation.
