20 Care and cleaning
After each wash, turn off the water supply to the dishwasher and leave the door ajar 30°, so that
moisture and odours are not trapped inside.
Important!
The door should not be left in the fully open position as this could present a tripping hazard.
Before cleaning or performing maintenance, always remove the power plug from the wall socket.
Cleaning the outer surfaces
From time to time the wash programme indicator panel and its surrounds need to be cleaned to
remove food particles, and any spillages. We recommend wiping these areas with a clean, soft
damp cloth, and drying them with a clean lint-free cloth.
Important!
We do not recommend the use of the following cleaning aids on your dishwasher, as they may damage the
surfaces:
Plastic or stainless steel scouring pads.
Abrasive, solvent house hold cleaners.
Hand washing liquids or soaps.
Laundry detergents or disinfectants.
Cleaning the door seals
If food is trapped in the seals, then it can cause odours. Clean the seals periodically with a clean
damp cloth to prevent this from happening.
Holiday time
If your dishwasher is not going to be used for some time, we recommend you ensure the baskets
are empty. Leave the inside of the dishwasher clean. Leave the door ajar to allow air to circulate.
Turn off both the power and water supply to your dishwasher.
