Regular cleaning (once a month)
Filter – Remove the lower basket and the filter under the nozzles. Wash it with warm water and a mild detergent. Remove any food and grease residues.
Nozzles (rotating arms) – Check the holes through which the water comes out. If they are clogged, clean them with a toothpick or small brush.
Door edges and seals – Wipe them with a cloth soaked in a solution of water and vinegar. Mold and grease often accumulate here.
Inside the machine – Run an empty cycle with a glass of white vinegar placed in the upper basket. It will remove limescale and unpleasant odors.
For extra refreshment – After the vinegar cycle, you can run another empty cycle with baking soda (2 tablespoons) sprinkled on the bottom.
Maintenance
Use salt for the machine. – If the water is very limescale-rich, regularly add special salt for dishwashers.
Use the machine regularly – If you don't use it for a long time, the water in the pipes can stagnate and spread an unpleasant odor.
Check the drain. – If you notice that water remains at the bottom, the drain hose may be partially clogged - flush it and check that it is not bent.
Use rinse aid – Reduces limescale deposits and makes dishes shine.
Don't overload the machine. – Water must circulate freely between the dishes.
What to avoid
Do not use classic hand washing detergents – they create too much foam and can damage the machine.
Do not use too many tablets or powder – excess creates deposits and washes dishes poorly.
Do not wash aluminum, wooden and delicate crystal items (unless expressly permitted).
