Cleaning and maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance of the appliance not only protects the environment
and saves energy, but also increases its service life. The attached brief overview provides
valuable tips at a glance.
Cleaning the appliance and interior
ü Clean the control panel, rubber seal and housing with a damp cloth. Never use
sharp objects, scrubbing pads, solvents or aggressive cleansing agents.
ü Remove stains or dirt inside the appliance with water and a cloth moistened
with a little white vinegar or dishwasher detergent.
ü To avoid deposits and scale residues, allow the appliance to run with dishwasher
detergent and without dishes at the highest setting.
Ø If the dishwasher is not to be used for some time, e.g. during the
holidays:
-
-
-
Ø The basic cleaning of the appliance with special dishwasher detergents
depends on the use and maintenance of the appliance. Follow the
instructions from the manufacturer of the dishwasher detergent. Carry
out basic cleaning at least once a year.
Ø Now and then put a small lemon peel in the cutlery basket. This
ensures a good cleaning result and a fresh scent.
Ø Switch the appliance on once a week so that the pump pumps water
in and out and keeps the seals moist.
Cleaning the spray arms
Pull the lower spray arm upwards
1.
Turn the screw nut on the upper spray arm in the direction of the arrow and
pull the spray arm downwards.
2.
Hold the spray arms under a tap with running water and rinse the small nozzle
opening.
3.
By shaking, larger foreign bodies (e.g. pieces of eggshells) can be removed
through the connection opening.
4.
Clean nozzle openings with warm soapy water and a soft brush.
5.
Rinse well under running water.
Run a washing process without dishes,
Remove the mains plug from the plug socket and
Leave the appliance door slightly open. The seals then last longer
and no unpleasant odours form in the dishwasher.
