Whirlpool HGL 44 A Manuel D'instructions page 26

Put the filter back into its seat correctly (1). Do not use pointed or sharp tools to do this.
Clean away any scale to avoid possible build-up. Clean the surface carefully and frequently using a damp cloth. Use neutral and
non-abrasive detergents that do not contain chlorine-based substances or products that could corrode and damage stainless
steel.
Do not use the afore-mentioned products to clean the floor under the dishwasher either, or even near it, in order to prevent
vapours or drips from causing damage to the steel surface.
To clean the tank and the walls, you are recommended to use a damp cloth or a shammy leather cloth, with soapy water and a
mild detergent. Never user scouring pads or metal sponges.
Periodic checks
Disassemble the spray arms (bottom and top 2-3), by unscrewing the central screw (1).
Clean the holes and the nozzles under clean running water, do not use any pointed or sharp tools that could damage them. Fit
the spray arms back in place.
Clean the machine internally using a damp cloth and neutral detergent then rinse and dry thoroughly.
Never use the following types of products to clean the tank and the steel surfaces:
- Products containing chlorides or hydrochloric acid
- Bleach
- Products for cleaning silver
- Scouring pads or metal sponges
NB: the incorrect use of the afore-mentioned products may cause rust marks on the surfaces.
Long-term stoppage
If the dishwasher is not going to be used for quite some time, you have to empty the detergent and rinse aid dispensing device
to avoid crystallizations and damages to the pumps: remove the priming pipes from the detergent and rinse aid containers and
soak them in a container of clean water, run some wash cycles and empty the machine completely.
To finish, switch off the main on/off switch and shut off the water inlet tap; only put the detergent and rinse aid priming pipes
back into their containers when you start the machine again, making sure not to invert them (red pipe=detergent; clear pipe =
rinse aid).
Do not leave the dishwasher switched on if it is not used for some time or if the operator is not able to monitor it directly.
