User Maintenance Instructions

Holiday Time

• If the dishwasher is not going to be used for some time, we recommend you leave it clean and empty. Leave the drawer(s) ajar to allow air to circulate. Turn off both the power and water supply to the dishwasher.
• When using your dishwasher for the first time after a long period away, we recommend pouring 3 cups of water into the drawer before loading and starting a wash. This is to lubricate components that may have dried out during non-use.

Cleaning the Surfaces

1. Wipe with a clean damp cloth. Take care not to wet the control panel.
2. Dry with a clean lint-free cloth.

We do not recommend the use of the following cleaning aids on your dishwasher as they may damage the surfaces: Plastic or stainless steel scouring pads Acid or alkaline cleaners Stainless steel cleaners or polishes Abrasive, solvent, household cleaners Hand washing liquids or soap Laundry detergents or disinfectants

Cleaning the Drain Filter, Spray Arm and Filter Plate

• We recommend that the drain filter is cleaned whenever there is evidence of food particles.
• The spray arm may need cleaning about once a month in normal use or more often should the need arise.
• The filter plate should not normally need cleaning. Food particles remaining on its surface can be wiped off with a clean, damp cloth.

If a dishwasher cleaner/descaler is used, you must run a wash program with detergent immediately afterward to prevent any damage to your dishwasher. The dishwasher must be used with the filter plate, drain filter and spray arm correctly in place.
