External cleaning
Clean the external surfaces of the machine and control panel with a damp soft cloth. If neces- sary use only neutral detergents. Never use abrasive products, scouring pads or solvent (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.
