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.
