How to keep your dishwasher in shape After Every Wash After every wash, turn off the water supply (not necessary for models with "Aquastop" ) to the appliance and leave the door slightly ajar so that moisture and odors are not trapped inside. Remove the plug Before cleaning or performing maintenance, always remove the plug from the socket. Do not run risks. No solvents or Abrasive Cleaning Products To clean the exterior and rubber parts of the dishwasher, do not use solvents or abrasive cleaning products. Rather, use only a cloth and warm soapy water. To remove spots or stains from the surface of the interior, use a cloth dampened with water and a little while vinegar, or cleaning product made specifically for dishwashers. Moving the Appliance If the appliance must be moved, try to keep it in a vertical position. If absolutely necessary, it can be positioned on its back. Seals One of the factors that cause odors to form in the dishwasher is food that remains trapped in the seals. Periodic cleaning with a damp sponge will prevent this from occurring. The door should not be left in the open position since this could present a tripping hazard. When You Go on Holiday When you go on holiday, it is recommended that you run a wash cycle with the dishwasher empty and then remove the plug from the socket, turn off the water supply and leave the door of the appliance slightly ajar. This will help the seals last longer and prevent odors from forming within the appliance. 24 Care and maintenance Regular inspection and maintenance of your appliance helps to prevent problems from occurring.This saves time and aggravation.You should therefore carefully inspect the inside of your dishwasher from time to time.
