USER MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANT! Disconnect the dishwasher from the power supply (unplug or switch off at the circuit breaker) and allow all its parts to cool before any cleaning or maintenance. Holiday time ● If the dishwasher is not going to be used for some time, we recommend you leave it clean and empty. Leave the drawers ajar to allow air to circulate. Turn off both the power and water supply to the dishwasher. ● When using your dishwasher for the first time after a long period away, we recommend pouring 3 cups of water into the drawer before loading and starting a wash. This is to lubricate components that may have dried out during non-use. Cleaning the surfaces 1 Wipe with a clean damp cloth. Take care not to wet the control panel. 2 Dry 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, household cleaners ● Acid or alkaline cleaners ● Hand washing liquids or soap ● Stainless steel cleaners or polishes ● Laundry detergents or disinfectants Cleaning the drain filter, spray arm and filter plate ● We recommend that the drain filter and filter plate in each drawer are removed and cleaned about once a month in normal use or whenever there is evidence of food particles. ● The spray arm in normal use should require cleaning less frequently.
