External cleaning
Clean the external surfaces of the ma-
chine and control panel with a damp soft
cloth. If necessary use only neutral de-
tergents. Never use abrasive products,
scouring pads or solvent (acetone, tri-
chloroethylene etc...).
Internal cleaning
Ensure that the seals around the door,
the detergent 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 detergent but without
dishes.
Prolonged periods of non-
operation
If you are not using the machine for any
prolonged period of time you are ad-
vised to:
1. Unplug the appliance and then turn
off the water.
2. Leave the door ajar to prevent the
formation of any unpleasant smells.
3. Leave the inside of the machine
clean.
Frost precautions
Avoid placing the machine in a location
where the temperature is below 0°C. If
this is unavoidable, empty the machine,
close the appliance door, disconnect the
water inlet pipe and empty it.
Moving the machine
If you have to move the machine (moving
house etc...):
1. Unplug it.
2. Turn the water tap off.
3. Remove the water inlet and dis-
charge hoses.
4. Pull the machine out together with
the hoses.
Avoid over tilting the machine during
transportation.
