Important safety information Before installing and first using the dishwasher, read the instruction booklet carefully, including its hints and warnings. Doing so will ensure that your machine will perform properly and to best advantage. Anyone using the machine should be thoroughly familiar with its instructions for use and safety features.
Care and cleaning 2 1 6 3 4 5 Important Spray arm (2) Make sure that the machine is unplugged and the water turned off before undertaking any kind of maintenance. Inspect the filters and spray arm nozzle before re-loading the machine and remove any food scraps. Wipe round the rubber gasket at the bottom of the door to remove grease which tends to collect there. The holes in the spray arm nozzle must be kept clean to ensure satisfactory wash results. Inspect the spray arm regularly.
Detergent dispenser (5) Cleaning the cabinet Only use detergents specially designed for dishwashers. Pour the detergent into the compartment, for a normal load pour about 15g. Since not all detergents are the same, you should also consult the instructions on the packet. Remember that the instructions usually refer to full-size dishwashers, for example when using detergent tablets, it is sufficient to use just half a tablet. Using the correct amount of detergent also contributes to reducing pollution.
